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 not only the researchers, project implementors and policy makers but also the communities when designing these 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 UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) through their Ayrton Challenge Programme, it is one of 13 projects to be given a share of £33 million.
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.
