The barrier to renewable energy was never the technology. It’s power: who holds it, who benefits, and what it takes to shift that. The ICONIC Renewable Energy Zones Toolkit is built to help close that gap. It’s a practical resource for NGOs, campaigners, and community partners who want renewable energy to do more than exist — to turn projects into campaigns, and consultation into co-ownership. Solar and wind are already proven, affordable, and scalable. What usually stands in the way isn’t the technology — it’s the grid operator who won’t connect, the bank that won’t lend, the regulator whose rules haven’t caught up, or the developer who shows up to ‘consult’ once the deal is already done. This toolkit is built for that fight. It’s organized as a set of modules you can use standalone or as a full campaign workflow — starting with the case for organising around power, not just projects, and moving through strategy, community rights and consent, policy barriers, and finance. It draws on lessons from campaigners already doing this work, from La Guajira to East Africa to the Amazon. Inside, you’ll find: Case studies from real campaigns A Theory of Change template and power-mapping worksheets A Strategy Menu and Tactics Library Tools for community engagement, FPIC, and benefit-sharing A plain-language finance module for engaging funders and investors Ready-to-use briefing templates for press, officials, and coalitions Whether you’re building a campaign from scratch or sharpening one already underway, this toolkit meets you where you are.
