In Collaborators, Grants

I’m thrilled to share that the Modern Energy Cooking Services (MECS) programme, led by the Sustainable Transitions: Energy, Environment and Resilience Centre (STEER), has been awarded a five-year funding extension worth £44 million from the UK Government. This was announced by the UK Minister for Development, Anneliese Dodds, during COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan. This takes the total funding in MECS to £99 million and will rapidly accelerate the global transition from biomass to clean cooking.

I am excited to be part of a new 3-year project on Community Energy and the Sustainable Energy Transition in Ethiopia, Malawi and Mozambique (CESET) which explores how communities can support just energy transitions in East Africa. The project will create knowledge on the political economy and landscape of community energy, as well as a Community Energy Lab in Mozambique and a Regional Learning Alliance.

As a Co-Investigator, I will be co-leading a work package that explores the landscape of community energy across the three countries. Through comparative research, our team will generate new knowledge about existing and potential models for delivering community-led energy solutions in diverse contexts of action.

The project is supported by UK Research and Innovation through the Global Challenges Research Fund.
