EU4Energy
…foster co-operative energy sector development at the regional level. The EU4Energy programme is funded by European Union.The first Phase of the Programme ran from July 2016 through June 2022, and focused on the countries of the Eastern Partnership (EaP) and Central Asia: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Ukraine and Uzbekistan. EU4Energy builds on the success of the long running INOGATE Programme and follows objectives for regional cooperation agreed between the EU and the beneficiary countries. The EU renewed the EU4Energy Programme for a second phase, which which ran from July 2021 to December 2025…

Global Commission for Urgent Action on Energy Efficiency
…4th annual Global Conference on Energy Efficiency in Dublin, Ireland. The Commission currently has 23 members and is composed of national leaders, current and former ministers, top business executives and global thought leaders.With analytical support from the IEA, Global Commission members have examined how progress on energy efficiency can be rapidly accelerated through new and stronger policy action by governments across the globe. It has developed this series of actionable recommendations to support governments in achieving more ambitious action on energy efficiency.The Commission's work comes at a critical moment in clean energy transitions around the world. Despite energy efficiency's…

Designing for fairness
…was launched at the first meeting of the Global Commission, taking place directly before the G20 Energy Transitions Ministerial programme in Foz do Iguaçu, Brazil. This helped elevate key issues explored by the Commission, which was followed by the approval of the Principles for Just and Inclusive Energy Transitions by G20 Energy Ministers. These principles were later endorsed by G20 Leaders at the final G20 Leaders Summit in Rio. In 2025, leading up to COP 30, as South Africa’s G20 Presidency is making just and inclusive energy transitions one of its priority areas, the Presidency invited the Global Commission to explore translating…

Energy Sub-Saharan Africa
…and modelling can improve energy access Sub-Saharan Africa is critical for achieving global energy and climate goals Sub-Saharan Africa’s energy future matters for the world, due in part to:The region’s young and rapidly growing population,high projected urbanisation ratesstrong economic growth trendsand vast energy and critical mineral resources.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…

Data-Driven Electrification in Africa
…alone home solar systems.These off-grid solutions are essential to provide access to electricity and advance efforts to reach universal energy access by 2030 and the Sustainable Development Goals. Power Africa is drawing on the IEA’s expertise to support governments with data-driven insights as they develop improved programs and policies that aim to accelerate electricity access. The grant envisaged an approach aiming to:Improve coverage and quality of electricity access data andMake state-of the art geospatial modelling and data more actionable for countries to develop electricity access policies that leverage both centralised and decentralised energy solutions…
