Nepal eCooking policy brief
Brief informs policymakers and investors on the clear opportunities for scaling electric cooking in Nepal.
Abstract
The findings from 8 completed projects are highly encouraging. The convenience and time and cost saving benefits of eCooking were especially praised by participating households, while eCooking led to significant shifts away from polluting firewood. The studies also demonstrated the effectiveness of community to community awareness raising in terms of increasing eCooking adoption and use. Five projects exploring the implications of households cooking entirely with electricity demonstrated that eCooking (using a range of efficient appliances) is already viable as a primary mode of cooking for households in urban centres.
This is an output of the Modern Energy Cooking Services (MECS) Programme.
