Designing Energy Efficiency Policies to Enhance Affordability
…on designing energy efficiency policies that support affordability, particularly in the buildings sector.As part of this work, the IEA conducted a survey with G7 governments to better understand the obstacles they face. On the consumer side, major challenges include the landlord-tenant split incentive, high upfront costs and administrative complexity. On the supply side, governments identified skills shortages and difficulties in reaching underserved communities.The report analyses the affordability-focused energy efficiency policies of G7 countries. These include targeted financial support, simplified programme design, strong local delivery models, and better integration with workforce development. Embedding affordability into energy efficiency…

Tracking SDG7: The Energy Progress Report, 2025
…These goals will demand a fundamental shift in energy production, distribution, and consumption, supported by greater investment, enabling policies, continued innovation, enhanced ambition and long-term planning. Addressing uneven progress and regional disparities requires collaboration among governments, the private sector, international organizations, and civil society, including on ensuring access to adequate financing and technical assistance. To foster inclusive transitions, particular attention is required to help women and marginalized communities benefit from the energy transition. Empowering people—especially young people—with the skills and knowledge to engage in the energy sector fosters a forward-looking mindset that is crucial for long…
