The Modern Energy Cooking Services (MECS) is a eight-year programme funded by UK Aid (FCDO) and led by Loughborough University. The programme aims to integrate modern energy cooking services into the planning for electricity access, quality, reliability, and sustainability. By doing so, MECS hopes to leverage investment in renewable energies (both grid and off-grid) to address the clean cooking challenge.

Strategy and Implementation

MECS is implementing a strategy focused on including the cooking needs of households in the investment and action on 'access to affordable, reliable, sustainable modern energy for all'. This strategy is aimed at achieving a shift to modern energy cooking within India, supporting the GoElectric campaigns by the Government of India.

MECS In India

In India, MECS has been instrumental in building critical connections amongst the key stakeholders and promoting modern energy-based clean cooking solutions. The programme has dual aims:

• Supporting India to emerge as a Global Hub for clean cooking devices manufacturing for domestic and international markets.
• Supporting the Atmanirbhar Bharat campaign and Make in India initiative.

Global Impact

Globally, MECS has been established as a prominent programme in the clean cooking domain. It focuses on becoming a major convening and facilitation programme to achieve the shift to modern energy cooking.
