Research Grant

This project seeks to enable improved living standards by increasing access to electricity in a sustainable, environmentally beneficial way. Specifically, we will install a 3kW renewable energy-based battery charging station at Kristy’s Cape Academy—a private primary school—in Muhuru Bay, Kenya. This work primarily involves: assessment of local conditions, design of the charging station, procurement of components, installation and follow-up. Alstom Foundation for the Environment
