A major MECS CREST (Loughborough University) study into battery-augmented cooking with electricity

Innovative MECS project to pilot latest battery developments enabling eCooking for 240 households in year-long field trials across Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda.

A major MECS CREST (Loughborough University) study into battery-augmented cooking with electricity has reached a key milestone by delivering innovative Power Stations to southern partners SCODE (Kenya), TaTEDO (Tanzania) & CREEC (Uganda) for distribution to 240 households in a year-long trial. The 120 Power Stations are similar to solar home systems (SHS) but provide a major step up in their capability by enabling eCooking that will substitute for biomass cooking on a meal-by-meal basis.
