Most households in Pakistan live in scorching heat for eight months of the year and temperatures are expected to rise faster than the global average from climate change. Over 25% of people in Pakistan live off-grid and the energy grid is notoriously unreliable. Fans that run for 18– 20 hours a day are needed to help children sleep.
As part of our work on the Low Energy Inclusive Appliances programme, Energy Saving Trust manages the Efficiency for Access Research and Development Fund, which aims to accelerate the availability, affordability, efficiency and performance of a range of low energy inclusive appliances that are particularly suited to developing country contexts and promote social inclusion.
One of the awardees, Harness Energy is working hard to develop an innovative, energy efficient and rechargeable solar powered fan to reach people in rural Pakistan. In this video, we meet Nukhti and Haseena who tell us how their Harness Energy fans have helped them weather the Covid-19 storm and save money.
