Digital Energy Challenge - 2021 Call for Projects

Digitalization is key to increasing energy access, integrating renewable energy sources into the grid and improving the performance of power utilities, especially in developing countries. Public utilities, start-ups and technology providers can boost digitalization through the implementation of innovative technologies and new business models.

To support this, the Digital Energy Facility, a European Union financed programme implemented by AFD, is launching the Digital Energy Challenge with an annual Call for Projects. The focus for the 2021 Call for Projects is sub-Saharan Africa due to the high needs in this region.
