Electric Cooking Programme in Kenya by Bidhaa Sasa
Gold Standard · GS12578 · Kenya
About this project
The proposed project “Electric Cooking Programme in Kenya by Bidhaa Sasa” has been developed by Bidhaa Sasa UK Ltd (Bidhaa Sasa) with the purpose of replacing the use of polluting non-renewable biomass and fossil fuels used for cooking by households with electric pressure cookers and electric induction cookers. The project focuses on end-users who cook with wood and charcoal in inefficient stoves who are already connected to the grid. The use of electricity for cooking using efficient electric cooking appliances is expected to provide an affordable, convenient, and safe cooking solution to the end-users. Furthermore, Kenya enjoys one the greenest electricity in Africa.
