Electric cooking stove and LPG stove as a long-term solution in achieving universal access to clean cooking

Electric cooking stoves and LPG stoves offer alternative technologies in advancing clean cooking access, serving as long-term solutions. Fiji can also capitalise on both the low electricity cost and high renewable energy share in power generation to promote electric cooking stoves in settlements connected to electrification systems with sufficient power supply capacity (i.e., EFL main grid). While still requiring imported oil products, LPG stove may be the better alternative compared to ICS in ensuring long-term adoption of clean cooking, where an electric cooking stove is not an appropriate solution.
