Digital Energy Challenge - 2023 Call for Projects

The digital revolution is key to increase energy access, integrate renewable energy sources into the grid, decarbonize power systems and improve the performance of power utilities, especially in Africa. Public utilities, start-ups and technology providers can boost digitalization of electrical systems through innovation and demonstration of new technologies from the smart grid sector.

To support the digitalization of electrical power systems, the Digital Energy Facility, a European Union financed programme managed by Agence française de développement (AFD), launched the Digital Energy Challenge in 2021 with an annual Call for Projects. The 2023 Call for Projects, co- financed by the European Union and the French Agency for Ecological Transition, (ADEME), will focus on Africa due to the high needs on the continent.
