Energy System Chef Zambia

The Energy System Chef Zambia project explores the energy system implications of mass e-cooking adoption. It aims to develop implementation scenarios and a tangible roadmap for a just energy transition in Zambia. With 90% of the population lacking clean cooking access, this research is crucial. It analyzes the wider energy system implications of clean cooking, models alternative clean cooking fuel solutions, reviews carbon financing strategies, and assesses livelihood implications. Stakeholder engagement includes relevant Zambian ministries, USAID, ZESCO, and the Modern Energy Cooking Services Programme.

Open Energy Transition (OET) provides essential software support, capacity building, and maintenance. OETs expertise ensures successful implementation of project objectives and efficient functioning of developed software tools. This project contributes to Zambia's clean cooking transition and promotes a sustainable and just energy system.
