Sunday, September 21 (The Autumn Equinox) is a day of action to celebrate solar and wind power, and the widespread adoption of renewable energy sources in Texas and worldwide. This celebration event will feature exhibits, workshops, music, fun activities, food, and fellowship that focus on learning what actions individuals can take to counter climate change and promote the adoption of clean,
reliable energy.

FEATURED SPEAKERS:
Daniel Cohan, PhD, Professor of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Rice University, will speak on the science of renewable energy and its growing role in ERCOT and the national U.S. energy grid. Dr. Cohan will also highlight his own personal experience with rooftop solar and his electric vehicle.

Andrea Oyuela, Manager of the Harris County Solar for All Program to expand solar energy access to underserved communities in our area. Andrea will provide an update on the historic $250 million grant to the Texas for Solar for All Coalition and how Houston-area residents can benefit. Andrea’s international development experience includes projects in Kenya, Norway, and Italy.

The clean energy revolution is here. Solar, wind and batteries are the cheapest form of power on the planet, lowering costs, creating new jobs, and strengthening our communities. But some politicians and industries are trying to hold it back.

Sun Day is a Global Day of Action on September 21st, 2025, celebrating the unstoppable rise of clean energy. We’ll come together to showcase the power of the sun and wind, the energy sources that can power our world without pollution.
