        Egypt

        Egypt has initiated a number of energy sector reforms, gradually reducing electricity subsidies and introducing feed-in tariffs to promote renewable energy production. The energy sector reforms recently initiated by the country have resulted in a significant increase in investments which have boosted electricity production over the last 5 years and ensured a stable supply across the country.
        Egypt also has plans to increase the share of renewables in the electricity mix to 42% by 2035.

        Belarus

        Energy policy in Belarus focuses on providing reliable energy while reducing import–dependence, particularly on natural gas from a single supplier. The government is contemplating attractive investment measures and fuel diversification to reduce natural gas consumption and include more coal and renewables into the country's energy mix, while developing local energy sources and introducing nuclear power.

        Belarus has also prioritized improving energy efficiency in electricity and heat production and is phasing out subsidies for electricity, heat and gas, which is expected to make the energy sector more market-focused and investor-friendly. Belarus is part of the EU4Energy Programme…

        Financial measures for small- and medium-sized businesses (preferential loan, tax, subsidy)

        Various financial and fiscal incentives have been put in place to encourage small- and medium-sized businesses to invest in energy conservation equipment and facilities. Key measures are:(1) Financial Supporting Measures(2) Green Investment Tax(3) Subsidy System(1) Financial Supporting MeasuresSpecial interest rates are applied to installing or leasing the specified energy conservation and non-fossil energy facilities.In the case of installing energy conservation equipment, the specified equipment that complies with specific conditions can have special interest rates. This includes industrial equipment such as heat pumps, boilers, furnaces, cogeneration systems, dyeing equipment, drying equipment and many more…

        Sheltering From Oil Shocks Targeted consumer support to enhance energy affordability

        …to protect consumers from increasing fuel prices. In the days following the conflict in the Middle East, the IEA has tracked announcements from around 40 countries that are deploying or considering deploying emergency measures to shelter consumers from price increases. Immediate government responses have been to implement price caps, fuel subsidies and shifts in taxation, along with price stabilisation mechanisms that can quickly set limits on consumer price increases.  Previous crises, including the Covid-19 pandemic and the 2022 energy crisis, demonstrated that impacts often fall disproportionately on the poorer segments of the population. On top of this general effect…

        Household Energy Affordability: Data and Indicators

        A methodological framework for national monitoring Effective policy requires robust monitoring of household energy affordability, yet no unified methodological approach currently exists. The upcoming IEA report Household Energy Affordability: Data and Indicators, to be published in July, addresses this gap. This executive summary presents its key elements, including a robust methodological framework structured around dimensions, indicators and data to support policy discussions and national monitoring efforts.

        EUR 450 million: Use of windfall from taxes on energy companies' excess profits to serve as subsidy for household heating

        The Austrian government will use the windfall from taxes on energy companies' extra profits (EUR 500 million) to help citizens pay their heating bills and housing costs.Of EUR 500 million, EUR 450 million will be distributed to Austria’s nine states so they assist citizens with their heating bills, though states can modify the scheme largely at will.

        Kyrgyzstan

        Kyrgyzstan’s hydro-rich energy sector is characterised by aging infrastructure and significant losses, which are exacerbated by a combination of weather-related shocks and growing demand. Energy policy aims to improve energy security by developing indigenous energy sources and rehabilitating and expanding transmission and distribution networks. Developing sustainable energy and improving energy efficiency are also priorities, while slowly removing subsidies will allow for further investment and expansion of domestic resources. Kyrgyzstan is part of the EU4Energy Programme, which is focused on evidence-based policymaking in the energy sector.
