New Award Continues Winrock Legacy of Creating Clean Energy Markets in Nepal

Winrock International has been named to lead a new initiative to accelerate clean cookstove market growth funded by the U.K.’s DFID-funded Modern Energy Cooking Services Challenge Fund at Loughborough University.

Winrock has supported Nepal’s clean energy transition since the early 2000s, collaborating with both the public and private sector to create the current enabling environment for electric cookstove market growth. These contributions have played a significant role in Nepal’s development journey toward self-reliance and energy security through the creation of a reliable and resilient energy supply. For nearly 20 years, Winrock has facilitated the creation of clean energy markets, reduced emissions and forest degradation and improved indoor air quality.
