Local energy communities (LEC) are revolutionising the way society produces and consumes energy. At EDP, we believe everyone should have access to clean, sustainable energy, which is why eradicating energy poverty is a priority for us. EDP New is participating in EU-funded R&D projects, such as ProLight Project and Eyes Hearts Hands 👁❤️🖐, which include the assessment of LEC establishment in economically vulnerable settings. This approach empowers both individuals and communities. Today is the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty and we invite you to join us in working together towards a fairer energy transition 🌎. #EDPWeChooseEarth #AllGreen2030 #LocalEnergyCommunities

Nine Business Models for Productive Use of Electricity in Africa: A Framework for Generating Profit and Impact in Off-Grid Energy Improving #EnergyAccess in rural #Africa is crucial for poverty reduction, but grid electricity is often inaccessible or unaffordable — and off-grid alternatives present similar challenges. Olowo Aminu, Bodunde Akinola, Nneka Chime and Mosorire Aiyeyemi at CrossBoundary argue that Productive Use of Electricity (PUE) has the potential to solve these issues, boosting household income and economic growth, while increasing profitability for energy providers. They share a framework CrossBoundary has developed to help #OffGrid companies and other stakeholders plan for effective PUE implementation. https://bit.ly/3IUzRyH #ProductiveUseElectricity #Nigeria #poverty #RenewableEnergy #PUE #EmergingMarkets #SocialImpact #PovertyReduction
