Clean Energy Hubs
A Clean Energy Hub is a resilient, revenue-generating microgrid – bringing in solar power, energy storage, electrification, energy efficiency, and bi-directional electric vehicle charging stations, capable of providing emissions-free energy and transportation.
Enabling community anchors - trusted institutions with regular interaction with the entire community - to generate revenue through clean technology is the key to accelerating decarbonization across America; with priority given to Justice40 communities.
These Clean Energy Hubs enhance the Health, Wealth, and Security of every community, and serve as a catalysts for the clean energy transformation.

You want to talk about the connection between the black church and the black community? How much do you got? <laughter> <music>
Anthony Kinslow II, Founder & CEO, Gemini Energy Solutions:
What if we could transform one of the anchors of the black community into a clean energy hub? A micro-grid. A workforce development incubator—a model for a better future. My name is Anthony Kinslow II. I am the CEO and Founder of Gemini Energy Solutions, an energy audit and cleantech company. I am a lifetime churchgoer and on the Board of Trustees for my church.
Reverend Dr. Ambrose Carroll, Sr., Pastor & Founder, Green the Church
The Black Church is one of the largest, collective of what black people do in America. There is over forty (40) million black people of faith in this country.
Anthony Kinslow II, Founder & CEO, Gemini Energy Solutions
At Gemini, we envision a future, where every black church is a clean energy hub for their community. We already go to the church for food, for shelter and for community. Gemini asks: “Why not go to the church for energy?”
Reginald Parker, Ph.D., President & Founder, Optimal Tech
So, what we talk about delivering and microgrid called CARE. When we say, “Optimal cares" and I know Gemini cares as well, but for us CARES stands for: “clean,” “affordable,” “resilient,” “energy solution.”
Anthony Kinslow II, Founder & CEO, Gemini Energy Solutions
Starting with the church ensures that the economic and health benefits of the clean energy transition reach the black community. It is the chance to center equity and realize energy justice.
Reverend Dr. Ambrose Carroll, Sr., Pastor & Founder, Green the Church
We are going to have economic prosperity. There is no longer going to be a dirty energy economy of which we have been at the bottom and there has been extraction from our communities and from our land and our people. If we are going to move to a place where it is going to be clean energy, then we need to be the masters of our own fate.
Anthony Kinslow II, Founder & CEO, Gemini Energy Solutions
Revenue from the Clean Energy Hub can be used to transform the surrounding neighborhoods. And it is not just money. Energy justice means that they will live a longer and healthier life.
Dana Clare Redden, MBA, Founder & CEO, Solar Stewards
When you have solar on site that can function as a backup power supply, you are not only doing a good store for the environment, but you are creating lifesaving opportunities for that community. It is just a natural intersection.
Anthony Kinslow II, Founder & CEO, Gemini Energy Solutions
Gemini is already working with Glad Tidings International, Church of God and Christ, a black church in Hayward, California, and this started because of our dedication to collaborative community engagement.
Reverend Dr. Ambrose Carroll, Sr., Pastor & Founder, Green the Church
Glad Tidings Church is the church that Green the Church has been working with for the last five years. Bishop Macklin has vision, does the work, and is nationally connected. When I was in school, we always talked about the church being the major agent for community change.
Anthony Kinslow II, Founder & CEO, Gemini Energy Solution
And that is why Gemini, and our partners is uniquely positioned to tap into the power of community to spread the power of clean energy. Through faith, comes energy and economic fortune.
