Digital Demand-Driven Electricity Networks Initiative
Stepping up global action for clean energy to fight climate change through power system modernisation Digital Demand-Driven Electricity Networks (3DEN) is an inter-agency collaboration between the International Energy Agency (IEA), the Italian Ministry of Environment and Energy Security and the United Nations Environment Programme. It supports the acceleration of power system modernisation through digitalisation, smart grid solutions and demand-side resource integration to translate into tangible improvements in reliability, affordability, and inclusion for households, communities, and businesses.The global initiative provides policy support, project finance insights, and regulatory guidance to help countries enhance energy efficiency, scale up renewable energy integration, and strengthen…

Data-Driven Electrification in Africa
…developing electricity access indicators.This Guidebook provides key recommendations for leveraging both supply- and demand-side data sources and covers all steps in the process, including data collection, validation, processing and dissemination. It addresses the most significant barriers countries face in tracking access and proposes best practices to overcome these challenges. Notably, this Guidebook details a methodology for estimating new access from stand-alone power systems, which are becoming more common in electrification efforts, using sales and distribution data as well as methods to adjust for product lifetimes, use, and resale. The Guidebook also highlights strategies for developing electricity access…

Oil security and emergency response
Ensuring quick and effective response to major supply disruptions Ensuring energy security has been at the centre of the IEA’s mission since its creation in 1974, following the oil crisis in 1973. Today, the global oil market remains vulnerable to a wide range of risk factors, including natural disasters, major technical accidents, and geo-political tensions. As oil is expected to remain a major component of global energy demand for the coming decades, particularly for the tran...

Energy Sub-Saharan Africa
…Sub-Saharan Africa will play an increasingly important role in shaping the global energy landscape and achieving global climate goals.Despite this, sub-Saharan Africa is the least understood region in the global energy system. Key barriers include a lack of basic energy demand and supply statistics due to institutional limitations and the limited application of energy modelling and analysis in policy design, market analysis and investment decisions.Given the region’s increasing significance in the international energy arena, it is more critical than ever to gain a clearer picture of the energy sector developments taking place in the region…
