Status of Power System Transformation 2018
…effective management of variability and uncertainty in both supply and demand.
A lack of system flexibility can reduce the resilience of power systems, or lead to the loss of substantial amounts of clean electricity through curtailment of variable renewable energy sources. Power plants play a critical role in enhancing system flexibility. Based on a wealth of real-life case studies and data, this report provides a comprehensive overview of how power plants can contribute to making power systems more flexible, while enhancing electricity security. It summarises the findings of the Advanced Power Plant Flexibility campaign of the Clean Energy Ministerial…

Efficient Grid-Interactive Buildings in India
…and variable supply could jeopardise grid stability and increase system costs. EGIBs offer an important solution for optimising electricity use, reducing peak demand and enhancing system flexibility.Applying a structured framework, this report assesses India’s policy landscape and opportunities across efficiency, decarbonisation, smartness, resilience, materials and building-to-grid interaction. It concludes with recommendations for a comprehensive policy package that encompasses regulations, incentives and information. Scaling up the adoption of efficient grid-interactive buildings would enable India to align its fast-growing building stock with national climate goals and international commitments while lowering system costs and enhancing energy security…

Korea Electricity Security Review
…electricity in total final energy consumption is projected to increase from around 20% today to more than 30% by 2040. Objectives for greater deployment of hydrogen in energy systems will also rely on additional electricity demand.These developments require policy makers to think about electricity security, which is the power system’s capability to ensure uninterrupted availability of electricity by withstanding and recovering from disturbances. The IEA looks at electricity security from three angles: adequacy, operational security and resilience. These three building blocks underpin each section of this report. Jointly written by the IEA and the Korean Energy Economics Institute …

Korea Climate Resilience Policy Indicator
…the long term, and Korea is also projected to experience higher annual rainfall with more extreme precipitation events. Heavy rainfall and tropical cyclones could threaten energy supply reliability, particularly in the summer.While Korea has made progress incorporating energy system climate resilience into its climate change adaptation plans, energy sector plans do not address it sufficiently. Recognising and capitalising on the co-benefits of adaptation and mitigation actions in national energy plans will help create synergies in policy implementation. Climate hazard assessment TemperatureKorea’s average annual temperature has been trending upwards with the rate of increase accelerating. The change rate…

Clean Energy Transitions Programme 2021
Annual report 2021 The Clean Energy Transitions Programme (CETP) has enabled the International Energy Agency (IEA) to significantly expand and deepen its global engagement and to support emerging economies’ transition to clean, resilient, sustainable energy systems. In 2021 the CETP marked its fourth full year since its launch at the 2017 IEA Ministerial Meeting, and the programme has steadily grown in size and impact.The CETP Annual Report 2021 aims to provide all CETP donors and partners with insights on the programme’s accomplishments, outputs and efforts across all areas of work. The report highlights activities and achievements for each…

Clean Energy Transitions Programme 2020
…pace of change toward the sustainable energy systems of the future, I remain more optimistic than ever about our prospects for success. The agency stands ready to continue supporting the IEA family under the CETP so that we deliver, together, a better energy future. 2020 was a critical year for the prospects of clean energy transitions worldwide. Since the emergence of the Covid-19 pandemic and ensuing economic crisis, the IEA has led calls for governments to both achieve a sustainable, resilient recovery and address the looming climate crisis.Throughout this challenging year, the Clean Energy Transitions Programme (CETP) played…

Clean Energy Transitions Programme 2023
…systems this century. The CETP’s work is structured across three pillars of activity, with a particular focus on emerging markets and developing economies. The first of these focuses on supporting emerging and developing countries to establish clean energy transition goals, in line with the objectives of the 2015 Paris Agreement and the Sustainable Development Goals established by the United Nations. The second pillar centres on facilitating coordination among multilateral organisations such as the Group of 20 (G20) and UN-affiliated collaborations. The final pillar showcases the IEA’s work at a global level to enable and accelerate clean energy…

India Energy Outlook 2015
…to meet its energy needs. The report explores how major new policy initiatives, from "24x7 Power for All" to the "Make in India" campaign, affect India’s energy outlook; identifies the investment required in India’s generation and grid in order to provide universal, secure and affordable electricity supply; highlights the growing role of renewables, led by wind and solar, in India’s energy future, alongside the continued importance of coal; evaluates the energy security and environmental strains that accompany India’s rise and how they can be addressed; and assesses the implications for a global energy system in which…

India Energy Outlook 2021
…in its energy development. Over the coming years, millions of Indian households are set to buy new appliances, air conditioning units and vehicles. India will soon become the world’s most populous country, adding the equivalent of a city the size of Los Angeles to its urban population each year. To meet growth in electricity demand over the next twenty years, India will need to add a power system the size of the European Union to what it has now. India has a wide range of possible energy futures before it This special report maps out possible energy futures for…
