The first year of the project included:

  • An Inception Phase for partners to forge a collaborative working arrangement and through a Strategic Planning Process to map out the work for the year, which included community research and a Feasibility Study to estimate the scope of renewable energy options that could become affordable and scalable.
  • The Implementation Phase included the Installation of Demonstration Units, the Development of Learning Materials, and a series of Community Workshops, which provided learning opportunities to understand how renewable energy works.
  • Finally, Year 1 concluded with the Reflection and Adaptation Phase, which provided an adaptive approach to reflect on lessons learnt and to take stock of upcoming opportunities, parts of which will be covered by an Independent Case Study and Documentary.
