Biomass is predominantly the energy used for cooking by households and food vendors in Sub-Saharan Africa. Relying on biomass energy leads to deforestation and is associated with negative health and

This proposal will examine two key research objectives that have not been well explored: First, it will examine the role of access to electricity on household’s food security and the nutritional

In Ghana, a basic requirement for getting connected to electricity is access to an electric meter. However, delays in the acquisition of the meters force many households to “subconnect” electricity

In Ghana, growth in electricity demand has largely been met through an increase in thermal generation leading to increases in local air pollutants, mainly greenhouse gas emissions. One way of

The study will use household surveys from several African and Asian countries to examine how electricity reliability and quality, prices, gender dynamics, and other variables affect electric cooking

In this project we propose to estimate demand for an electric pressure cooker (EPC), a highly-efficient electric cooking appliance well-suited to many African cuisines, among grid connected households

As an important measure for households’ adaptation to climate change, the demand for air conditioning is increasing sharply in developing countries, which implies a larger demand for electricity and
