Biography

Nthabi Mohlakoana has over 20 years of research experience focusing on energy policy implementation and energy access with an emphasis on gender mainstreaming in the energy sector. Her research at TU Delft is centered on European Energy Communities, which involve community-driven interventions aimed at facilitating affordable clean energy for residents. She is involved in a year-long European Commission-funded project known as Waterwarmth, which explores the potential of Aquathermal Energy (AE) using surface water for heating and cooling purposes. Her role in the project includes analyzing policies and governance mechanisms that can lead to the positive implementation of AE projects within the North Sea region. Nthabi has gained in-depth work experience in South Africa and other global south regions, including her tenure at Stellenbosch University’s Centre for Sustainability Transitions (CST), where she focused on energy transition and socio-economic issues, including energy access, energy poverty, job creation, skills development, and the gender impacts on community livelihoods.
