Applications are open for Digitalisation for Flexible and Resilient Energy Systems Program (Phase II). The BASE Foundation has launched the call for pilot projects on Digitalisation for Flexible and Resilient Energy Systems targeting eight countries.
The initiative aims to accelerate global climate action and uptake of clean energy models, building on the success of Phase I. This expansion aligns with Italy’s “Piano Mattei” and the “Rome Process”, which aim to deepen partnerships between Italy and Africa, focusing on sustainable development and energy transition.
