Every change begins with #Sustainable solutions! 🌱
@WFP_Nepal's engineering team attended a workshop by PEEDA, an NGO based in KTM exploring how developing local repair services and smarter appliance subsidises can enhance the sustainable usage of electric cooking in Nepal.
🚀PEEDA launches #EPC & #Induction#Stove repair manuals!
PEEDA has compiled comprehensive #repair manuals & #training modules to help technicians & practitioners in troubleshooting & fixing common issues with EPCs & Induction Stoves. Access the manuals👇

A study which aimed to assess #eCooking appliance repair issues & develop local after-sales services in #Nepal shows the varying reliability of different eCooking products & their supply chains, & the importance of considering the durability in procurement https://t.co/obpPhKnx7E
A key report has been launched on the findings of COSMO – the MECS cooking support on mini-grids challenge fund – which shows that #eCooking is feasible and cost-effective in many mini-grid contexts. Access the report: https://t.co/WfpoiyQzxC #minigrids#CleanCooking
A study assessing impact of appliance #subsidies on #eCooking usage in #Nepal recommends that to encourage sustained eCooking use, it's important to provide complimentary support services, e.g. appliance use training and local after sales services. More: https://t.co/PHaq05VffD
A study by WoNEE #Nepal found clear opportunities for #eCooking in commercial #enterprises (e.g. restaurants, hotels). A survey of 162 enterprises found their most common cooking practices were compatible with eCooking and most were willing to #transition

This followup study identifies longer-term impacts of #Electric#Cooking#Outreach pilot on cooking practice of both participant & non-participant households & shows ECO pilots can act as launchpads to scale #eCooking in communities.⬇️

Glad to hear Nepal's Energy minister talk about government's commitment to #CleanCooking at #COP28UAE . Hope to see a more intensive campaign on the ground as more than half of Nepali households still use solid biomass fuel, resulting in about 21,600 deaths annually
Happening today at #COP28 the launch of Global Electric Cooking Coalition (GeCCo) - a new global coalition formed to promoting electric cooking coalitions at scale. Join today at 11.30am GST at the Al Waha Theatre #electriccooking
📢Counting down!
Super excited as we are less than a day until launch of the Global electric Cooking Coalition (GeCCo) with our partners at COP28!
🗓️5 Dec ⏲️11:30-12:30 (GST)

Join us tomorrow at the #COP28 Nepal Pavilion for the MECS-PEEDA event on accelerating #eCooking scale up in Nepal & beyond. Speakers: Nawa Raj Dhakal (AEPC, Nepal), Justine Akumu (Min. of Energy, Uganda), Prof. Ed Brown (MECS), Ben Jeffreys, (ATEC) & Biraj Gautam (PEEDA) @UKMECS
MECS director, Prof. Ed Brown highlights the clear opportunities and strong support from the panel for #eCooking in schools and institutions at the @SE4All Pavilion, @COP28_UAE. @edbrownlboro
Really happy to be representing MECS at COP28. See the link below for some of the diverse range of events the MECS team will be participating in with our partners at COP28 as we advocate for clean cooking and climate action at this crucial time. @UKMECS

#eCooking demonstrations can help audience to see benefits of EPCs first hand. Cooking chicken curry from MECS #Nepal#eCookbook on #solar powered #EPC was a testimony that EPCs can cook staple dishes just as well, if not better, than #traditional#fuels⬇️

A follow up study to @UKMECS ECO pilot by PEEDA in #Nepal, demonstrated the proportion of dishes cooked on #electricity increased from 31% to 43% since the end of the pilot, & #electriccooking energy consumption had doubled👇
