The Modern Energy Cooking Forum 2024 (MECF 2024) is set to take place in New Delhi in September 2024. The theme of the forum is “Accelerating Progress in Transition to eCooking”. The Modern Energy Cooking Forum is part of the Modern Energy Cooking Services (MECS) initiative, which was launched in India in late 2019 through its in-country partner, India Finovista. Funded by the UK Aid of the Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office (FCDO) and led by Loughborough University, MECS Programme aims to improve access to clean and safe cooking fuels and technologies for all by 2030, as defined in SDG 7.

The discussions at Modern Energy Cooking Forum 2024 will focus on promoting electric cooking in India as an alternative clean cooking fuel. The aim is to bring about improvements in people’s lives in ways consistent with advancing environmental and social well-being. The Modern Energy Cooking Forum, established in 2022 under the MECS Programme, aims to intensify cooperation among stakeholders from both the public and private sectors in the areas of modern energy for clean cooking. Modern Energy Cooking Forum provides a platform to promote dialogue and share ideas to attract more investment in renewable energy sources, and its usage as cooking fuel. India’s eCooking devices market has witnessed significant growth over the years, with increasing adoption of energy-efficient cooking appliances like induction cook stoves and electric pressure cookers. This growth can be attributed to increasing disposable incomes, urbanisation, and technological advancements.

Join us at the Modern Energy Cooking Forum 2024 (MECF) as we work towards making eCooking a reality for all, contributing to social, economic, and environmental benefits. Let’s make the green shift together!
