Beyond powering these institutions, the Energizing Education Programme (EEP) is elevating the quality of
education and promoting gender inclusion in STEM fields. Through the EEP, 20 female students from each
beneficiary university are selected for hands-on training in solar PV installation and renewable energy, and
an additional 100 students receive training regardless of gender or course major.
This initiative has opened doors for alternative thinking and inspired many to pursue careers in renewable
energy. The solar hybrid power plants serve as research hubs, fuelling innovation and advancing their
understanding of renewable energy, with female STEM students now prepared to enter the traditionally
male-dominated power sector with confidence.
By revolutionizing educational environments, promoting gender
inclusion, and inspiring interest in renewable energy, the EEP is
illuminating a path towards a brighter, more sustainable future.
