Data-Driven Utility Management for Demand Response and Incentivizing Green Energy Transition in Africa

About the Project

The inception report outlines the approach and initial activities for implementing the workstream Advancing Electric Cooking for Sustainable Energy Transitions in Sub-Saharan Africa. The initiative is led by Gamos East Africa as part of our roles within the MECS programme and the Global eCooking Coalition (GeCCo). The project aims to work closely with utilities and regulators to co-design and test innovative solutions that address key barriers to scaling eCooking adoption across multiple countries.

How We Helped

Objective of the Project

The primary objective of this projectt is to enable eCooking as a systemic demand driver for renewable energy utilization and grid optimization in partner countries. This includes:

Strengthening evidence on the eCooking Market landscape by updating the national eCooking market assessments in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania and Malawi
Enhance South-South learning amongst utilities and regulators as key stakeholders in scaling up eCooking solutions through co-creation workshops and ongoing engagement.
Pilot promising new solutions proposed during the co-creation workshop
the progress

Actions for the Project

The MECS programme, in collaboration with EnDev, carried out a similar set of activities in 2022, therefore enabling us to leverage the studies as a baseline and update to highlight the progress the eCooking sectors have made in each country.

Planning is underway for the co-creation session at the stakeholder workshop, together with the BAYES team. In addition, we intend to host virtual monthly meetings with the utilities and regulators to ensure we walk the journey together.

We plan to host two webinars with utilities, regulators, development partners, and the eCooking community. The first will be to disseminate the updated Market Assessment Studies.
