Energy Efficient Prosperity: Expanding Energy Access
Sub-Saharan Africa faces what some energy analysts have called the “66% situation.” Around 66% of the region’s population – more than 620 million people – have no access to electricity while 66% of energy investment in the region is aimed at exporting energy rather than using it internally.This is all the more striking given that nearly a third of all global oil and gas discoveries between 2009 and 2014 occurred in the sub-Saharan region. According to the IEA, energy resources in sub Saharan Africa are more than sufficient to meet the needs of its population, yet they are…

Southeast Asia can harness vast renewable resources to meet fast-growing electricity demand
New IEA report examines opportunities for countries across the region to integrate more solar and wind into their power systems to help reach energy security and emissions goals Southeast Asia’s electricity demand is rising at one of the fastest rates in the world, underscoring the need for countries to diversify energy supplies and reinforce grid infrastructure. A new IEA report released today highlights how countries in the region can leverage their abundant renewable resources, notably wind and solar PV, to meet soaring demand and achieve their energy priorities.Electricity demand in the region grew by more than 7% in…

Better energy efficiency policy with digital tools
energy efficiency article 2021 Energy efficiency policy and digital tools are a good match The digitalisation of energy systems is transforming energy efficiency, introducing technologies and creating new sources of detailed data which are supporting new business models and revenue streams. As the market and technology landscape transform, policy makers are also increasingly taking advantage of digital tools for energy efficiency policy to deliver more secure, clean, and flexible energy systems. At the same time, the digital transformation also introduces important new risks in terms of cybersecurity and privacy that governments must navigate to ensure that the digital transition has…

World Energy Employment 2024
The third edition of the World Energy Employment (WEE) report examines the global energy employment environment as the transition progresses into a period of uncertainty. The report offers a detailed overview of energy employment, including estimates of the workforce's size and distribution across different regions, sectors, and technologies. The dataset provides in-depth information on workers across the entire energy value chain, encompassing fossil fuel supply, bioenergy, nuclear energy, low-emissions hydrogen, power generation, transmission, distribution and storage. It also covers key energy-related end uses, such as vehicle manufacturing and energy efficiency in buildings and industry. The report…

Innovation Gaps Renewable Power
Renewables require continued innovation efforts to reach the performance, reach and deployment in the Sustainable Development Scenario Renewables require continued innovation efforts to reach the performance, reach and deployment in the SDS. The front-runners in deployment in the SDS, wind and solar, will require continued R&D into next generation modules, cells, turbines and system designs, as well as into balance-of-system components to ensure cost reduction trends are maintained.More fundamentally, reaching high shares will require bridging innovation gaps in a host of integration technologies. New designs and prototypes are also needed to expand the reach of renewables…

Coûts prévisionnels de production de l'électricité
Coûts prévisionnels de production de l'électricité Cette étude est la sixième d’une série sur les coûts prévisionnels de production de l’électricité. Elle présente et analyse des estimations de coûts pour quelque 130 centrales électriques et cogénératrices, qu’elles soient nucléaires, alimentées au charbon, au gaz, ou qu’elles utilisent des sources d’énergie renouvelables. Des experts de 19 pays membres de l'OCDE, 2 organisations internationales et 3 pays non membres ont contribué à l’étude.
Les coûts moyens actualisés présentés et analysés dans le rapport ont été calculés sur la base des données fournies par les… -
Chinese Taipei
The Taiwanese government enacted in the late 2010s the Statute for Renewable Energy Development to reduce CO2 emissions, improve energy diversification and promote green-energy industries. The government is seeking to generate 8% of electricity from renewables by 2025.

World Energy Outlook 2024 Security, affordability and sustainability
Finding the right balance Policy makers need to balance goals related to energy security, affordability and sustainability. Some policy choices can simultaneously boost all three, but many require trade-offs. A critical challenge is to minimise the trade-offs and to help avoid a narrow focus on one that unwittingly compromises the others.Fuel security remains a vital element of energy security. Disruption in a major producing region or at today’s trade chokepoints, including the Straits of Hormuz and Malacca, could lead to severe price volatility. Maintaining reliable fuel infrastructure and the systems they depend on is essential to…

Mexico Energy Outlook 2016
World Energy Outlook Special Report Mexico is recasting its entire energy system, in line with a far-reaching Energy Reform package adopted by the government in 2013. How might the multiple changes being implemented today change the energy scene of tomorrow? This analysis provides a comprehensive assessment of Mexico’s energy demand and supply outlook to 2040. The report maps out the implications of the Reforma Energética across the energy economy; explores the ambition of a reformed power market to meet rising demand, while tapping Mexico’s abundant renewable resources and reducing the costs of power supply; assesses how and…
