This is what we've been building at @PowerUP.
75,000 households reached. Electric cooking, financed through carbon markets, accessed through PAYG.
Next: an 80,000 household project in Uganda alone.
Not talking about potential. Building at scale, right now.

Some countries don't have this problem.
Uganda: 99% renewable electricity grid.
Ethiopia: largest hydro dam in Africa, 90% of grid on hydro
Nepal: 45GW untapped hydro, government target for universal electric stove ownership: 2030
Their cooking fuel flows through their own grids

This week the IEA published an emergency report on the energy shock.
One of its ten urgent recommendations to governments:
Switch to electric cooking. Reduce dependence on imported LPG.
That's the global energy authority, not a clean cooking startup.
