At the intersection of technological innovation and policy to accelerate the clean energy transition, UNECE has issued a compendium of case studies highlighting the potential of digital technologies and the related governance frameworks to address key challenges in the energy system.   

Featuring selected case studies and providing examples of effective governance policies, the publication offers examples of the transformative power of digital technologies in the energy sector, from grid management and cybersecurity to the adoption of smart meters and artificial intelligence. 

It bridges the gap between theoretical frameworks and real-world applications, highlighting the successful implementation of the policy recommendations from the UNECE Task Force on Digitalization in Energy in diverse geographic and socio-economic contexts. 

Approaches to the global energy transition differ across regions and the case studies focus on:  

  • introducing smart metering to monitor energy flow, ensuring billing accuracy, allowing rapid fault detection, and supporting dynamic pricing models for optimized energy use and reduced losses in the Republic of Moldova
