SHINE: Putting well-being at the heart of energy system design
SHINE will work with communities and stakeholders in The Gambia and Ghana in West Africa to explore the intersectional realities associated with the energy transition. One outcome will include the development of a framework that supports researchers, project implementors, policy makers and communities when designing energy systems.
A UKRI-funded project
The University of Bristol has received £3.5 million to bring together international researchers on a project that puts well-being at the heart of energy system design. Funded by UKRI through their Ayrton Challenge Programme, it is one of 13 projects to be given a share of £33 million.
Led by academics from the University of Bristol, the Sustainable, Holistic, and Inclusive Energy Systems for well-being project (SHINE) is a transdisciplinary project that seeks to investigate the socio-economic, gender, environmental, health and technological conditions that improves inclusiveness and the sustainability of energy access interventions.
