Advancing Electric Cooking in Uganda: Enabling Environment, Supply Chain, and Consumer Awareness

Uganda has made significant progress in promoting electric cooking, with initiatives focusing on supply chain policy, creating an enabling environment, and increasing consumer awareness. Challenges such as fuel stacking and low awareness persist but efforts like EPC pilots, exhibitions, and media campaigns are driving adoption. Collaboration is key to scaling up electric cooking and learning from other countries' experiences can further enhance the transition.

  2. MECS Country Jigsaw to Scale Up - Uganda Supply Chain Policy Enabling Environment Consumer Awareness

  3. Policy Enabling Environment

  4. Enabling environment - Uganda • Kampala – 93% elec access, 80% charcoal, 500 MW surplus • EPC cooking 50% cheaper than charcoal, most of menu compatible • eCooking tariff – 80 kWh threshold • eCooking strategy • Standard for EPC • Import tax waiver… and VAT? • Carbon

  5. Supply Chains

  6. Supply Chain - Uganda • Bottleneck • SC2, COSMO • EPC pilot led by Umeme – champions, create demand, get data on eCooking tariff, unlock sector for suppliers… • Scaling up through EASP – EPCs alongside new connections, and… • Repair • Power quality

  7. Consumer Awareness What existing beliefs, factual or otherwise, hold back the transition for a significant group of people? Is fuel stacking an opportunity or an issue? - e.g. gradual transition vs continued poor health from partial HAP

  8. Consumer Awareness - Uganda • 6 UNACC exhibitions including EPC demonstrations • Market centres, Equity Bank, KCCA, All Saints Church… spillover into hotels, hospitals, shops, markets • 281 EPC sales, awareness raised among thousands • TV news items, radio features, short documentary on eCooking • Awareness low, demand high

  9. Consumer Awareness - Uganda

  10. Consumer Awareness - Uganda

  11. Consumer Awareness - Uganda

  12. Consumer Awareness/Perceptions - Uganda • EPC pilot • UNACC exhibition • More ideas – champions, women’s groups, TV, radio, • Shamba shape up • Disseminating results to cooks? • Cooking baskets, extra pots, double dish cooking

  13. The Jigsaw in Uganda • Great progress on enabling environment • Research and activity on consumer awareness • The supply chain is the bottleneck – how can we work together to scale electric cooking? • What can we learn from other countries? • Discuss? – Carbon, Repair, Awareness, Dissemination, Power quality, EPC usage
