In the Amazon region, Indigenous communities are taking matters into their own hands by harnessing the power of solar energy. Aidesep, a national office in Brazil, is conducting an analysis to identify communities lacking access to electricity and providing alternative solutions. Similarly, the Ceibo Alliance in Ecuador has installed solar systems in 16 communities, empowering territorial guards with clean energy. However, despite these efforts, fossil fuel generators remain the main alternative for many regions. The Amazon faces unique challenges due to its remote location and lack of political weight.
