@RMIAfrica We’re all for community-driven decision-making here at COMET!

[COMET - Community Energy Toolkit @thecometapp]

@energypedia Quite useful! We especially liked the recommendation to consider entire value chains. Hopefully we will see more of this in the future! Let's start implementing these strategies to drive tangible change

Exploring the powerful synergy between #minigrids and SMEs at #eaif2024! Community engagement, integration of productive uses since planning and a portfolio approach is key for successful SMEs connected to mini-grids! We can do this! #RenewableEnergy #SustainableDevelopment

[COMET - Community Energy Toolkit @thecometapp]

#eaif2024 day 1 brought big insights! Forecasting demand is tough, but with abundant and reliable data we can make better decisions. And we can also create demand! Investors will be looking for this & fit between business plans and energy needs. Excited for more! #EnergyAccess

[COMET - Community Energy Toolkit @thecometapp]

@WFP highlights how #minigrids synergize with e-cooking to benefit displaced populations, reducing fuel costs while building on community knowledge and e-cooking loads to enable other forms of #energyaccess. Let's make displaced communities part of 'no one left behind'!

[WFP Media @WFP_Media]

𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 identifies the needs and opportunities of off-grid solar electric cooking (e-cooking) technologies.

Find out how e-cooking could be a game-changer for people in displacement settings.
