Overview

Energy Justice examines who truly benefits from modern power systems-and who quietly pays the highest price. Written by practising electrical engineers, this book explores how energy infrastructure reflects long-standing social inequities, environmental racism, and economic exclusion. Blending technical insight, global case studies, and real community voices, it reveals how access, affordability, and environmental impact are deeply tied to equity and inclusion. More than a call for clean energy, Energy Justice is a call for intentional design-because a sustainable grid is not enough. It must also be a just one.

Author Information

Peter Bergamini is a licensed electrical engineer who has spent over fifteen years working inside the U.S. power system-designing, commissioning, and modernizing generation, transmission, and distribution infrastructure, as well as renewable energy and battery storage projects. His career has been built around the technical realities of the grid: reliability, safety, cost, and performance.But Peter's understanding of energy changed after becoming a husband in 2016 and a father in 2018 and 2023. Listening to marginalized voices and confronting how racism, bias, and exclusion shape everyday life forced him to re-examine the systems he helped build. What began as a personal reckoning grew into a broader question: Is the power grid fair?Energy Justice is Peter's attempt to answer that question honestly-through the lens of an engineer who believes equity must be treated as a design requirement, not an afterthought Wyatt Howell is a licensed professional engineer with extensive experience in consulting engineering and substation and power system design. His career has focused on building and maintaining reliable infrastructure while navigating the unintended consequences of technological and policy-driven change.Wyatt brings a critical voice to Energy Justice, examining how well-intentioned energy solutions can produce new environmental and social burdens-often borne by communities least represented in the decision-making process. His contributions challenge the idea that technical progress alone guarantees justice, emphasizing that engineering solutions must be evaluated not only by performance metrics, but by who they benefit and who they harm.Together, the authors write from inside the industry, offering a rare, field-grounded examination of energy systems as both technical and social structures-and calling for a clean-energy transition that is not only sustainable, but just Jason Hale contributed graphic and artistic assistance to Energy Justice leveraging a BFA in Graphic Design and Illustration from KCAI and years in the publishing field. He is currently a Software Engineer building user interfaces: bridging the gap between design, code, functionality and craft. Jason was honored to contribute illustrations and graphic publication experience to Energy Justice with the hopes to help promote thought to the insightful messages within.When not musing over the latest advances in web technology or what sounds taste like, he can be found hanging with his wife of 20 years, vast brood of children, almost as many dogs, and defending himself against the onslaught of teenage sarcasm.
