Contributor guidelines
Write for EcoPowerHub
EcoPowerHub publishes technical analysis on power systems, renewable energy, energy infrastructure investment, and policy for development finance institutions, governments, utilities, and project teams. I welcome expert contributions, and I accept a limited number of clearly labeled sponsored articles from organizations working in these fields.
Two ways to contribute
Editorial Contributions and Sponsored Content
The two routes are kept separate so readers always know whether an article was paid for.
Editorial contribution
For practitioners, researchers, institutions, and students sharing independent expertise.
- No payment in either direction
- Byline as guest contributor, with a short bio
- One author bio link (
rel="nofollow") - No commercial links in the article body
Sponsored content
For companies and investors publishing relevant, educational content.
- Publication fee (see rates below)
- Title starts with “Sponsored:” and a disclosure appears at the top
- One client link (
rel="sponsored") - Editorial review; no endorsement implied
Accepted topics
What I Publish
Articles must fit one of the six EcoPowerHub insight areas. Topics outside energy infrastructure, power systems, and related finance or policy are not accepted.
Editorial standards
Content Requirements
These apply to every article, paid or unpaid.

Professional

I may edit for accuracy, clarity, length, and style, and may decline any submission. American English spelling is used throughout the site.
