At COP30, UNEP in collaboration with the International Energy Agency and supported by Italy’s Ministry for the Environment and Energy, has announced the second phase of the Digital Demand-Driven Electricity Networks (3DEN) Initiative to advance 14 new projects across Africa and Brazil.
Phase II expands 3DEN’s work beyond the power sector into the agri-food system, where innovative digital tools can dramatically reduce energy use, improve water efficiency and strengthen climate resilience.
Renewables are now the cheapest source of electricity globally, but many countries are unable to use them effectively due to grid inflexibility, outdated infrastructure, and a lack of digital tools. 3DEN supports countries to build smarter, more resilient and low-carbon energy and others.
