African SCENe (Sustainable Community Energy Networks) is a 12-month feasibility study that will enable the characterisation and identification of schools within low-income suburban communities in Nairobi that have the potential to become clean energy hubs through innovative business models.These energy hubs will be capable of generating, storing and distributing clean energy for the community they serve, accelerating access to adequate, affordable, and reliable renewable energy in Kenya, whilst enhancing energy awareness and education, The proposed business models will remove the financial and technical burden from the schools, in line with learnings from past projects developed by the partners. Given challenges around grid reliability and supply, African SCENe will investigate how the business model could be defined to co-exist within the existing and future energy structures. Key to the proposition is the social benefits that can arise from increasing access to studying and cooking facilities that are powered by clean, safe and reliable electricity.SmartKlub's role is to develop the business model to enable the realisation of the energy hubs, with funded facilities being managed under a lease contract with the school. Edu-Cater Global will take the lead on utilising facilities to inform and enhance pupils and families' learning experience and awareness of clean energy subjects. They will use subcontractor Map Kibera to identify and access appropriate schools to work with and that can be proposed as future demonstrators. University of Nottingham's role is to develop the social, economic, policy and technical researches needed to support the project. FWD.London will ensure deliverability, replicability and scalability across sub-Saharan Africa, by utilising and growing existing supply chains where feasible or developing them from UK businesses. It aims to facilitate the adoption of sustainable business practices across Africa, helping to mitigate the adverse effect human development has on both the environment, and climate. They also seek to ensure that local communities benefit from the vast natural resources available to them. These benefits are unlocked through a combination of; skills training programmes, knowledge transfer initiatives and capital investment.The project team will be supported by an advisory board that includes Kenyan Power, the Institute of Energy Studies Research Kenya, the International Finance Corporation of the World Bank Group and the Kenya Renewable Energy Association.We are actively seeking to form partnerships across the region to achieve these aims and goals.

非洲场景（可持续社区能源网络）是一项为期12个月的可行性研究，它将使内罗毕低收入郊区社区内的学校具有特征和识别能力，这些学校有潜力通过创新的商业模式成为清洁能源中心。这些能源中心将能够为其服务的社区生产、储存和分配清洁能源，加速肯尼亚获得充足、负担得起和可靠的可再生能源，同时提高能源意识和教育。拟议的商业模式将根据合作伙伴过去开发的项目的经验，消除学校的财政和技术负担。考虑到电网可靠性和供应方面的挑战，非洲场景将研究如何定义商业模式，使其在现有和未来的能源结构中共存。这一主张的关键在于，增加使用清洁、安全和可靠的电力供电的学习和烹饪设施所带来的社会效益。smartkclub的角色是开发商业模式，以实现能源中心的实现，并根据与学校的租赁合同管理资助的设施。Edu-Cater Global将率先利用设施来告知和提高学生和家庭的学习经验和对清洁能源主题的认识。他们将使用分包商Map Kibera来确定和接触合适的学校，以便与之合作，并建议将其作为未来的示范学校。诺丁汉大学的作用是开展支持该项目所需的社会、经济、政策和技术研究。前轮驱动。伦敦将确保撒哈拉以南非洲地区的可交付性、可复制性和可扩展性，在可行的情况下利用和发展现有的供应链，或从英国企业发展供应链。它旨在促进整个非洲采用可持续的商业实践，帮助减轻人类发展对环境和气候的不利影响。他们还设法确保当地社区从可供他们使用的大量自然资源中受益。这些好处可以通过以下组合解锁：技能培训计划、知识转移计划和资本投资。该项目团队将得到一个咨询委员会的支持，该委员会包括肯尼亚电力公司、肯尼亚能源研究所、世界银行集团国际金融公司和肯尼亚可再生能源协会。我们正积极寻求在整个地区建立伙伴关系，以实现这些目标。
