This study was supported by UK Aid and Loughborough University under Modern Energy Cooking Services (MECS) programme. The aim of this study was to understand the energy implications at the household level of cooking entirely with electricity. Women Awareness Center Nepal (WACN) implemented this study in two urban Saving and Credit Cooperative (SACCOs), located in two different districts of Nepal – Kathmandu and Kavrepalachowk- in Bagmati Province. The approach of the study was as follows:

• Provide EPC, induction cooktop, and electric kettle intervention to 20 members of women SACCOs;
• Collect data on cooking practices in the intervention households using a cooking diary in three phases: Baseline, Transition, and Endline;
• Analyse cooking diary data for energy usage, cost of cooking, and change in cooking practices;
• Conduct exit interviews of participants to understand households’ experience with eCooking and challenges in cooking entirely with electricity.
