During the financial year, Green Scene Energy Community Interest Company operated in close strategic collaboration with its implementing partner, Green Scene Energy PLC in Ethiopia, to combat energy poverty, reduce carbon emissions, and build climate resilience in off-grid and underserved communities.The joint initiatives delivered direct, tangible benefits to the target communities through two main areas of intervention:Clean Cooking & Health Interventions via Induction Stoves: In alignment with local manufacturing and assembly efforts in Ethiopia, the company accelerated the deployment of efficient clean cooking technologies. By introducing locally tailored induction cookstoves to replace traditional biomass and charcoal cooking, the project successfully reduced dangerous indoor air pollution, lowered carbon emissions, and mitigated severe respiratory health risks for women and children in rural and peri-urban households. Solar Water Pumping for Climate & Food Security: To strengthen community infrastructure and rural livelihoods, the company facilitated the deployment of solar-powered water pumping systems. These systems provided off-grid agricultural communities and households with a reliable, zero-emission water supply. By replacing expensive and polluting diesel generators, the solar water pumps reduced operating costs for smallholder farmers, enhanced local irrigation capabilities, and improved year-round food security and clean water access.Through these combined renewable energy projects, the company actively transformed local resource management, fostered sustainable economic opportunities, and laid the groundwork for long-term ecological and community resilience.

Consultation with Stakeholders To ensure that the deployment of renewable energy technologies directly aligns with the actual needs of the communities served, the company maintains a continuous stakeholder consultation framework in close coordination with its implementation partner, Green Scene Energy PLC in Ethiopia. Consultation mechanisms during the financial year included: Community Forums and Household Feedback: Regular, direct engagements and user workshops were conducted with local households and women's groups using the new induction stoves. This allowed the company to gather vital field data regarding usability, energy savings, cooking habits, and health impacts, which directly informs ongoing product support and community adoption strategies. Collaborative Planning with Smallholder Farmers: For solar water pumping initiatives, the company consulted extensively with local smallholder farmers, agricultural cooperatives, and community leaders. These discussions focused on assessing critical water requirements, evaluating irrigation schedules, and structuring fair operational models to maximize food security and economic benefits for the community. Institutional and Partner Alignment: The company engaged in structured dialogue with local administrative bodies, technical partners, and community-based organizations to ensure all infrastructure deployments comply with local priorities, respect community resource management traditions, and establish long-term maintenance support networks.
