Dr Marianthi Pappa, Assistant Professor in Law at the University of Nottingham is a part of a team awarded a £250k grant from UK’s Energy Catalyst programme which aims to deliver a just and inclusive clean energy transition in Asia and Africa.
The project’s aim is to build a sustainable community of energy networks in Nairobi, Kenya. This 12-month feasibility study will look to transform low-income suburban communities into clean energy hubs through innovative business models.
It also aims to facilitate the adoption of sustainable business practices across Africa, helping to mitigate the adverse effect human development has on both the environment, and climate. They also seek to ensure that local communities benefit from the vast natural resources available to them.
The project team will be supported by an advisory board that includes Kenyan Power, the Institute of Energy Studies Research Kenya, the International Finance Corporation of the World Bank Group, and the Kenya Renewable Energy Association. Participants from the University of Nottingham.
The Nottingham team is led by the Faculty of Engineering and includes colleagues in the Nottingham University Business School, as well as external collaborators (see below).
