The Italian Ministry of Environment and Energy Security – together with the International Energy Agency (IEA) in collaboration with UNEP – launched an initiative to step up global climate action and uptake of clean energy models, known as Digital Demand-Driven Electricity Networks Initiative (3DEN) in 2021.
3DEN aims to help countries accelerate progress on power system modernization and effective utilization of distributed energy resources through policy, regulation, technology and investment guidance.
The project brings together stakeholders to foster dialogue and share experiences. These stakeholders include the International Smart Grids Action Network, the Clean Energy Ministerial, Mission Innovation and the User-Centred Energy Systems, Energy in Buildings and Communities and Energy Efficient End-Use Equipment Technology Collaboration Programmes.
