Exciting progress with the SWARM-E consortium as we advance pilot energy projects in Rwanda and Tanzania!
Through comprehensive analysis of local energy dynamics and organisational models, we're ensuring communities are at the heart of our site selection process.
Our key areas of focus:
Multi-Criteria Site Selection: Balancing socio-economic, financial, and environmental impacts.
Sustainable Business Models: Crafting viable long-term financing strategies.
Robust Monitoring & Evaluation: Implementing clear impact assessment frameworks.
Life Cycle Assessment: Embedding circularity principles for robust sustainability.
The scale-up challenge
While creating community value remains paramount to our work, we're also tackling the critical challenge of developing scalable financing and business models. Success hinges on attracting investment, ensuring cost recovery, and adapting financial frameworks to unique local circumstances.
As part of the SWARM-E team, BwB colleagues Chris Smith and Ede Borbely are helping to chart a course for energy solutions that are financially viable, socially inclusive, and environmentally sustainable. 🚀
