Electricity 2026
Global power demand growth continues to rise rapidly as the Age of Electricity gathers pace, supported by the increasing electrification of industry, transportation, and the buildings sectors. Growing consumption is also coming from some of the most dynamic segments of global economies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), data centres, and evolving technological innovations.Against this backdrop, Electricity 2026 – the IEA’s annual report on global electricity systems and markets – provides in-depth analysis of the recent trends and policy developments underpinning this new era. It includes forecasts for electricity demand, supply and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions for select countries, by…

Emission reductions
…global total in 2023. This is more than the entire energy-related emissions of India and the European Union combined. Accelerating efficiency improvements could deliver a third of all energy-related CO₂ emission reductions between now and 2030 in a pathway aligned with reaching net zero emissions by 2050 – the largest share of any sector or technology. Energy efficiency also improves air quality and people’s health by lowering local air pollutants such as fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrous oxide. Key analysis Global energy-related CO2 emissions increased by around 15% between 2010 and 2023, driven by an…

Spain
Spain is at the forefront of the energy transition due to its energy and climate change policies. The current Spanish framework for energy and climate is based on the 2050 objectives of national climate neutrality, 100% renewable energy in the electricity mix and 97% renewable energy in the total energy mix. As such, it is centred on the massive development of renewable energy, particularly solar, wind and renewable hydrogen, increasing energy efficiency and improving electrification. This is an opportunity for the country to not only stimulate the economy and by creating jobs through the modernisation of industry, but also to…

World Energy Outlook 2025
The IEA’s flagship World Energy Outlook (WEO) is the most authoritative source of global energy analysis and projections. Updated annually to reflect the latest energy data, technology and market trends, and government policies, it explores a range of possible energy futures and their implications for energy security, access and emissions. The WEO covers the whole energy system, using a scenario-based approach to highlight the central choices, consequences and contingencies that lie ahead. It includes exploratory scenarios that flow from different assumptions about existing policies, as well as normative pathways that achieve energy and emissions goals in full. The multi…

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.

Gas 2025
…recent market developments ahead of the 2025-26 winter season in the Northern Hemisphere – and includes forecasts for how supply and demand could evolve to 2030.The report also includes the IEA’s detailed annual assessment of gas supply security, including the implications of LNG contracting trends, and features a special spotlight on the potential to deploy carbon capture technologies along LNG value chains to reduce the emissions intensity of supply. Additionally, as part of the IEA’s Low-Emission Gases Work Programme, it includes a section on the medium-term outlook for biomethane, low-emissions hydrogen and e-methane.

Multiple Benefits of Energy Efficiency for Business Quality and reputation
…the country.Energy performance can also influence access to supply chains, as companies increasingly set expectations for suppliers to improve efficiency and reduce emissions. Apple requires suppliers to work towards net zero emissions by 2030 and includes energy efficiency performance in their supplier selection. Its Supplier Energy Efficiency Program helps suppliers to achieve that goal and estimates it has reduced the carbon footprint by 2 million tonnes of CO₂-eq in 2025. Similar approaches are emerging across sectors, with companies like Unilever requiring suppliers to meet energy performance standards, effectively making efficiency a condition for doing business.Consumer evidence reinforces…

Türkiye
Rapid economic and population growth in Türkiye over the past two decades have not only driven strong growth in energy demand, but also an associated increase in import dependency. As a result, Türkiye has pursued a restructuring of its energy system with the aim of rationalising energy demand growth, lowering energy prices and slowing the pace of import growth.
These reforms have included measures targeted at modernisation, liberalisation and increased domestic production capacity. Notably, Türkiye has seen considerable diversification of its energy mix in the past decade. Renewable electricity generation has tripled in the past decade and the commissioning of…- Overview

Global EV Outlook 2026
…manufacturing and trade of electric cars, trucks and their batteries, along with a special chapter on automotive technology trends related to software and artificial intelligence.The report is complemented by updated versions of two online tools: the Global EV Data Explorer – which now includes vehicle price data in selected markets – and the Global EV Policy Explorer. These tools allow users to interactively explore EV statistics, projections and policy measures worldwide.The report is developed with the support of members of the Electric Vehicles Initiative (EVI); the United Nations Environment Programme also supported the expansion of this year’s Policy Explorer.
