Abstract

Electric pressure cookers (EPC) represent a viable clean cooking solution for communities living on mini-grids, combining low energy consumption and high pressure to cook household staples. To evaluate the need and use-case for EPCs, the Efficiency for Access Coalition conducted a small-scale study with PowerGen Renewable Energy mini-grid EPC customers in rural Tanzania. The report outlines the business model and delivery mechanisms used to distribute the EPCs, demonstrating that in-person trainings and loan facilities are critical components of product uptake and retention.

This output is part of the ‘Low Energy Inclusive Appliances’ (LEIA) programme.
