This project aims to develop a detailed understanding of the drivers behind the recent rapid rise of photovoltaic (solar) energy products in East Africa through extensive fieldwork research in Kenya and Uganda. This project expects to generate new knowledge on the complex dynamics of renewable energy transitions in Africa. Expected outcomes of this project include the development of theoretical, empirical and policy insights that will inform how sustainable and just energy transitions are able to be realised in energy poverty contexts in the Global South. This should provide benefits, such as helping to inform the actions of governments, aid donors, businesses and organisation working to eliminate energy poverty in Africa.

该项目旨在通过在肯尼亚和乌干达进行广泛的实地研究，详细了解东非光伏（太阳能）能源产品最近迅速崛起背后的驱动因素。该项目预计将产生关于非洲可再生能源转型复杂动态的新知识。该项目的预期成果包括理论，经验和政策见解的发展，这些见解将告知如何在全球南方的能源贫困背景下实现可持续和公正的能源转型。这应该会带来好处，比如帮助政府、援助捐助者、企业和组织采取行动，消除非洲的能源贫困。
