Wuppertal Institute

The Wuppertal Institute, an institute of applied sustainability research, is a project partner of the research and development project “People Power: Optimizing off-grid electricity supply systems in Nigeria" (PeopleSuN). PeopleSuN aims to improve access to reliable and sustainable energy in previously undersupplied regions in Nigeria.

As part of the PeopleSuN project, energypedia consult is designing and implementing an online and open access knowledge hub on off-grid electrification in Nigeria. The hub functions as a wiki, and allows users to consult and search for various types of relevant content (incl. text, images, downloadable documents, videos), and also create and edit content themselves. The hub design includes a database backend, user rights and user groups as well as user interfaces.
