Great to have a chance to present my new paper on peripheral electricity generation in Southern Africa at the @rgsibg.bsky.social conference. In this paper I look specifically at electricity generation in Namibia and Eswatini 🌍

I'm honoured to be up to 1.5k followers on here, so thought I'd do a little intro.. I'm a geographer looking at the transitions to renewable energy in Southern Africa. Currently teaching at the University of Exeter @exeter.ac.uk

I'm in Windhoek, Namibia, learning about the national energy landscape. Such a beautiful country and I wish I had time to explore it properly.

I visited a preschool which the NGO that I'm involved with supports in Eswatini. The Setsembiso Foundation trains teachers and assists them to run preschools across the country. There are now 40 schools with 680 children. I'd be honoured if you would donate to this inspiring project: givi.ng/5sjc
