Our Programmes
Low Energy Inclusive Appliances
The Low-Energy Inclusive Appliances (LEIA) programme is Efficiency for Access’ flagship initiative. It is an innovative research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) programme. It seeks to improve the efficiency, performance, availability, and affordability of a range of household, community, and productive use electrical appliances and solar-powered technologies.
Efficiency for Access Design Challenge
The Efficiency for Access Design Challenge is a global, multi-disciplinary competition that empowers teams of university students to help accelerate clean energy access.
Global LEAP Awards
An international competition that identifies and promotes the world's best, most energy-efficient appliances and equipment intended for use in energy-constrained settings. The Global LEAP Awards serves as the de facto source of accurate, actionable information about the quality and energy performance of appliances designed for use with off-grid solar energy systems, mini-grid and areas with inconsistent grid connection.
VeraSol
VeraSol is an evolved quality assurance programme designed to meet the growing needs of the off-grid solar energy market. Launched in 2020, VeraSol builds upon the strong foundation for quality assurance laid by Lighting Global Quality Assurance and Equip Data.
