Geothermal Energy for Europe: Scaling from Niche to Mainstream
The International Energy Agency (IEA) and Carnegie Europe are co-organising a private roundtable discussion on geothermal energy for Europe.As solar PV and wind capacity are growing and countries are prioritizing energy security, geothermal energy offers reliable, non-fuel-dependent, low-emissions power, heating, and cooling. It also highlights emerging opportunities in the use of critical minerals and the development of underground energy storage capacity. Yet, deployment in Europe and globally remains constrained by subsurface risk, financing challenges, limited policy support, and regulatory barriers. The roundtable discussion will provide a unique platform for direct engagement between European policymakers and…

Breakout session: Technology innovation for resilient electricity grids
Background information Electricity networks around the world are facing serious new challenges, stemming from a range of factors including age, weather and changes to how power is supplied and used. The need to rapidly expand power transmission capacity, enhance system flexibility, and improve electricity grid resilience has become a central pillar of energy security, while also supporting efforts to extend electricity access.The case for continued and strengthened innovation is evident in the suite of technologies that are becoming deployed today but were not readily available just one decade ago. This includes grid-forming inverters, dynamic line rating and high…

Portugal 2026 Energy Policy Review
About the report Government action plays a pivotal role in ensuring secure and sustainable energy transitions. Energy policy is critical not just for the energy sector but also for meeting environmental, economic and social goals. Governments need to respond to their country’s specific needs, adapt to regional contexts and help address global challenges. In this context, the International Energy Agency (IEA) conducts Energy Policy Reviews to support governments in developing more impactful energy and climate policies. This Energy Policy Review was prepared in partnership between the Government of Portugal and the IEA. It draws on the IEA’s extensive…
