        Kazakhstan

        Kazakhstan is a significant producer of coal, crude oil and natural gas, and a major energy exporter. While coal dominates the country’s energy mix, renewable sources of energy are a small but growing share of Kazakhstan’s electricity generation. Gas pipeline network expansion remains a priority, in order to expand access and reduce reliance on coal and LPG for household consumption. Kazakhstan is part of the EU4Energy Programme, an initiative focused on evidence-based policymaking for the energy sector.

        Ukraine

        Ukraine is a key country for European and global energy security. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has pushed it to fundamentally reshape its past dependence on energy imports from Russia.
        As the invasion continues, Ukraine is focused on tracking large-scale energy supply disruptions and actively working to recover power and heating for civilians. It is also putting together an ambitious recovery and reconstruction plan, with a strong focus on energy security. In the medium-term, Ukraine’s energy strategy remains focused on European integration, while it aims to an energy system that is ready for a Net Zero future…

The government is contemplating attractive investment measures and fuel diversification to reduce natural gas consumption and include more coal and renewables into the country's energy mix, while developing local energy sources and introducing nuclear power.

        Belarus has also prioritized improving energy efficiency in electricity and heat production and is phasing out subsidies for electricity, heat and gas, which is expected to make the energy sector more market-focused and investor-friendly. Belarus is part of the EU4Energy Programme, an initiative focused on evidence-based policy making for the energy sector.

        Algeria

        Algeria is a large oil and gas producer and exporter. In 2015, the country updated its Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Development Plan to 2030, and put greater focus on the deployment of large-scale renewables, including solar PV and onshore wind installations, through various incentive measures.

        Argentina is the world’s fourth largest lithium producer, a mineral critical for the manufacture of battery storage systems and, therefore, for the energy transition. Argentina is among the first Latin American countries to achieve universal electricity access, with a successful programme on rural electricity markets accelerating the connection of remote last miles users to the grid in recent years.

        Thailand

        Thailand’s energy policy focuses on reducing dependence on natural gas to enhance energy security. With the costs reduction of variable renewable energy, conventional Thai power generation starts giving way to alternative sources. The country’s energy policy must evolve to accommodate this change.

        Belgium

        Belgium’s energy policy is focused on transitioning to a low-carbon economy while ensuring energy security, lowering costs for consumers and increasing market competition. Belgium has made progress on these goals, notably as a global leader in offshore wind. The country is also seeing a rapid uptake of electric vehicles. However, Belgium remains reliant on fossil fuels and more aggressive policies are needed accelerate emissions reductions, especially for the industry sector.

        Ambitious government plans to extend electricity access have yielded fruit in Indonesia, where the number of people without access declined from around 100 million in 2000 to around 23 million in 2016 even with a population increase of almost one-quarter. Therefore, Indonesia alone was responsible for 55% of the net decrease in the number of people without access across Southeast Asia since 2000. Those remaining without access in Indonesia are concentrated in a number of provinces, including East and…

These moves put Singapore ahead of most countries in the Asia-Pacific region and in a good position for a hub-style market to develop.
        Singapore’s energy policies have also set strong objectives to 2030, including improving the country’s energy efficiency by 36% from 2005 level. Among other measures in support of this target, Singapore introduced energy efficiency standards and labelling for lamps in 2015. The government also plans to increase solar…
