This working group is for the generation and distribution of electrical power for the Occupy Boston encampment. Technologies/initiatives include '''high-efficiency LED lighting, pedal-power, solar and wind'''! We are a subset of the Occupy Boston Information Technology Working Group and regular reports of our work are recorded in the minutes of the obit Working Group. Our meetings are not on consistent days of the week, but are specific to particular jobs, installations, maintenance, etc. If you would like to be added to our mailing list, go to one of the email contacts listed below.'

is on-going, but the other projects including '''solar and high-efficiency LED lighting''' were specific
to support for the encampment in Dewey Square.




We're also creating construction/operation documentation of the pedal generator for the benefit of other Occupy groups. It will be here: [http://wiki.occupyboston.org/wiki/Pedal_Power http://wiki.occupyboston.org/wiki/Pedal_Power]
