MECS East Africa Battery-eCooking Field Trial, Uganda
REFNo: SIR105ES

The aims of this study are to examine the technical performance in real-life use and user experience of battery-augmented electric cooking equipment. Specifically, we are aiming to answer the following questions: - How will this technology perform in a real life situation, with real cooks? What technical changes are needed in the future to make this product more attractive to everyday cooks? - How will cooks respond to using the technology? How do they adopt it over time? In addition, we will be studying the following: - Are the devices compatible with traditional cooking practices? Could they encourage households to move towards clean energy stack? How do everyday cooks use the devices? What are their preferences for features of the devices? How can we make the devices more desirable and sustainable? What are gender implications of using the device? - What is the commercial viability of e-cooking (socially, technically, financially viable)? - How do the batteries perform in a real life setting? How much wear does the battery undergo? What are potential impacts on the grid? When, how, and to what extent is the battery power used? - What are health impacts of using the device?
