The Ghana GOALs project with Ghanaian partners KNUST and EEK, will create self-sustaining smart energy communities with access to clean renewable energy and innovative cooking technology, resulting in improved air quality and better working conditions, especially for women and girls.

Ghana GOALs will test a new concept for modern cooking, reducing the reliance on foraged firewood and kerosene. This will be combined with the creation of electrical microgrids, using solar photovoltaic panels (PV) and storing energy overnight in batteries. These will be trialled at selected secondary high schools and in an off-grid community to evaluate different business models for replication.
