Resources

Practical tools from Francis's consulting practice and keynote presentations on energy are available here. Each checklist, including the community benefit agreement and data centre checklist, is designed to provide decision-makers with an actionable starting point rather than a typical marketing document. 


New resources are added after each talk or workshop. If you attended a recent energy keynote presentation and are looking for the accompanying checklist, it is here.
