        The Value of Demand Flexibility: Benefits beyond balancing

        …agency collaboration between the International Energy Agency (IEA), the Italian Ministry of Environment and Energy Security and the United Nations Environment Programme.As electricity demand rises and power systems become more decentralised and renewable-rich, and electrified in this ‘Age of Electricity’, managing when and how electricity is used is increasingly as important as expanding supply.Demand flexibility, the ability to adjust electricity consumption in response to system conditions, is emerging as a critical pillar of modern and efficient power systems.This policy brief examines, in addition to system balancing, how demand flexibility can enhance energy efficiency, strengthen energy security…

        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…

        Thematic session: Smart and efficient appliances fit for the future

        …Improving their efficiency is essential to lowering energy bills, easing pressure on power systems and strengthening resilience.Governments already have effective tools such as Minimum Energy Performance Standards (MEPS), labelling and incentives, which have reduced inefficient products, lowered costs and driven innovation. These policies remain essential and must continue to evolve.At the same time, electricity markets are changing rapidly. Smart and connected appliances are no longer passive consumers: they can provide demand flexibility while maintaining service quality. Well-designed product policies can unlock this potential, reducing peak demand, improving energy security and avoiding costly grid investments.This session will…
