E4 Country Profile: Energy Efficiency in Mexico
…in multiple energy end-use sectors has increased substantially since 2010 and in 2013, Mexico became the first country in Latin America to introduce a fuel economy standard.Mexico still has several challenges in meeting its climate objectives and the Sustainable Development Goals such as ensuring access to clean cooking and, in remote areas, universal access to energy. Energy efficiency, through its multiple benefits, remains an important enabler of these objectives. Improvements in energy efficiency Energy efficiency improvements in Mexico since 2010 prevented 5% of additional energy use in 2018. Structural factors such as movement of economic activity from energy…

E4 Country Profile: Energy Efficiency in South Africa
…greatest efficiency gains. Detailed analysis suggests that about 11 MtCO2 could be avoided by 2050, with a fuel economy standard of 95 gCO2/km.In industry, implementing MEPS for electric motors, a policy planned for the industry and mining sectors, will be an important first step to unlocking greater efficiency gains. Complementing this with measures that extend to the wider motor-driven system and other industrial equipment, including the implementation of energy management systems, could enable further savings.In buildings, strengthening energy management systems and standards for appliances, especially for cooling will allow South Africa to obtain the projected energy…

Clean Energy Transitions Programme 2022
…not have been possible, with great benefit to the programme’s focus countries and IEA member countries alike.This CETP Annual Report 2022 provides an overview of the programme’s major achievements in the last year. During this time, the CETP has driven forward an ambitious and impactful agenda, even as the world has contended with multiple overlapping crises. As just some examples, the CETP delivered the Energy Sector Roadmap to Net Zero Emissions in Indonesia, which ministers strongly welcomed at the G20, and has played a key role in shaping Indonesia’s landmark Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP). Similarly…

Energy Efficiency 2018
…Energy efficiency can bring significant economic, social and environmental benefits. But while energy efficiency is improving around the world, its positive impact on global energy use is overwhelmed by rising economic activity across all sectors. Efficiency can enable economic growth, reduce emissions and improve energy security. The right efficiency policies could enable the world to achieve more than 40% of the emissions cuts needed to reach its climate goals without new technology. Energy Efficiency 2018 looks at why efficiency’s massive potential remains untapped, and through the new Efficient World Scenario explores what would happen if countries maximized all available cost-effective efficiency…

Boosting Efficiency in Latin America
…improving efficiency and making loads more flexible is key to cost-effectively meeting decarbonisation goals. Decades of policies and programmes have delivered energy savings around the world. As a result, energy systems are more resilient, bills are lower, and public budgets feel less pressure than they would have without these efforts. This report looks at energy efficiency and demand management policies and programmes across Latin America. It presents evidence of the results of these efforts on improving living standards, public budgets, energy security and employment, and provides a view on the opportunities to expand these benefits and support just energy…

Clean Energy Transitions Programme 2023
…Energy Outlook and a World Energy Outlook Special Report on universal access to clean cooking in Africa. Additional highlights included annual updates of our World Energy Investment and World Energy Employment reports along with many others.The programme also provided support to the IEA’s strategically important work on energy efficiency, critical minerals, energy employment, clean energy investment and people-centred energy transitions. The CETP supported the IEA’s efforts to improve energy data collection and to develop capacity among policy makers in partner countries. It contributed to the Agency’s role as a key coordinator of the global energy…

Implementing Clean Energy Transitions
Focus on road transport in emerging economies This report assesses the impact of the road transport sector on energy demand, CO2 emissions and air pollution in several selected major emerging economies over the coming decades under several IEA modelling scenarios. Most notably the Announced Pledges Scenario (APS) aims to show to what extent announced ambitions and targets, including the most recent ones, are on the path to deliver emissions reductions required to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.Bringing about a road transport decarbonisation pathway in line with the APS in the selected major emerging economies - Brazil, People’s Republic…

Scaling Up Demand Flexibility
…initiative to examine the growing importance of demand flexibility in electricity systems amid rising demand, increased renewable energy integration and the electrification of power systems. Case studies in chronological order to examine the changing role of demand flexibility over time from South Africa (2025), Thailand (2030) and Ireland (2035) demonstrate how demand flexibility improves reliability, reduces costs, supports renewables integration and manages network constraints. To realise these benefits, the report emphasises the role for smart technologies, inclusive policies, regulatory reforms and consumer engagement to scale flexibility and move away from emergency interventions, towards a more strategic and efficient system capability.

It then discusses cross-cutting activities, implemented globally.Recognising the excellent results achieved under the CETP, which are presented in the Annual Report 2021 and previous editions, at the IEA Ministerial Meeting in March 2022 representatives from 15 IEA member countries and the European Commission, on behalf of the European Union, reaffirmed their commitment through the CETP to further strengthen IEA capabilities to accelerate the transformation towards a global net zero energy system, in line with the IEA’s strengthened clean energy mandates and Programme of Work.

Energy Policies Beyond IEA Countries: Mexico 2017
…The transition to open energy markets should continue in a transparent manner, and with regulatory certainty. The new roles and responsibilities for the public and private entities, in particular for energy supply emergencies and energy data collection, should be defined well. It is also critical to ensure sufficient resources for the several new or strengthened regulatory authorities. For the long term, as Mexico’s population, cities and economy are projected to grow strongly, a cross-sectoral approach is required to limit the increase in energy demand and energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. This review analyses the energy policy challenges facing…
