About The Energy Archive is a living resource for anyone trying to understand what happens when power fails — not by accident, but by design. It collects the research, the history, the photographs, the social media posts, the first-person testimonies, and the practical knowledge that documents energy as a political issue: who controls it, who gets cut off, and what people build when the state leaves them in the dark. It starts in Lebanon and the Arab world, and grows outward, region by region, as the same patterns repeat elsewhere. This is not a neutral archive. It takes the side of the people who have had to figure it out themselves. Use it, add to it, share it.
