Focus Areas

Where Our Work Concentrates.

Five areas, each tied to the programmes and partnerships through which the Centre works on them.

  1. Renewable Energy Integration

    Accelerating solar, wind, hydro and biomass across the grid. This is the work behind GNSPI and the research ambition of ASETIH.

  2. Energy Access

    Extending clean, reliable power to underserved communities, through citizen-level generation in GNSPI and the enterprises YEEIP is designed to support.

  3. Energy Efficiency

    Cutting consumption and emissions through better technology, a research priority for ASETIH and a recurring theme of the conference programme.

  4. Smart Grids

    Building intelligent networks for a modern energy system: the metering and data backbone GNSPI proposes, and the systems research ASETIH is designed to house.

  5. Energy Storage and the Workforce to Run It

    Storing surplus power, and building the skills to operate the systems that hold it. This is the purpose of the ASETIH academy and of YEEIP's technical training.
