This work, alongside the work of researchers within Ethiopia, Malawi and Mozambique, will benefit low-income communities directly. We’re hoping that this project can help us to rethink what energy access is and what kind of models we use to develop alternative energy sources. It’s important that we can help low-income communities to be more autonomous when it comes to making their own energy decisions.
