Breakout session: From here to gigawatts of fusion energy
…information Fusion energy has been making headlines recently, with several records broken in the past year in government-owned research facilities. Fusion technology pioneers are raising unprecedented levels of venture capital funding, because – even if it is long shot – a successful fusion power plant design could revolutionise the energy system, providing high and constant power output and spinning inertia for grid stabilisation, minimal radioactive waste, no CO2 emissions and no scarce fuel inputs.The complex science and terminology of nuclear fusion is a barrier to understanding by non-experts and contributes to misunderstandings about the status and progress of the…

Tackling rare earth supply risks
…dysprosium and terbium, which are used in these magnets. Today, China accounts for around 60% of global mined production of these elements – and its share of refining for them is above 90%. The country also accounts for almost 95% of permanent magnet production.
When a single country controls the supply chain for a fuel, material or technology, it creates significant energy and economic security risks. For rare earths, this came into clear view last year, when China introduced export controls on numerous rare earth elements, as well as on related compounds and magnets. This resulted in significant short-term disruptions…

Singapore and IEA mark 10 years of regional energy cooperation to advance ASEAN Power Grid vision
…energy cooperation at the 10th Singapore-IEA Regional Training Programme, held from 21 to 22 May 2026 in Singapore. The programme focuses on strengthening regional power connectivity through subsea interconnections and cross-border renewable energy certificates (RECs) trade to support the energy security and decarbonisation goals of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).The training programme brought together more than 160 policymakers, regulators, and industry stakeholders from 23 countries across the Asia-Pacific region to discuss how regional power interconnections can strengthen energy security and support cross-border electricity trade. Representatives from the ASEAN Centre for Energy, Australian Energy…

31st Energy Statistics Course
The 31st Energy Statistics Course from the IEA, took place in a virtual format on 23-24 March 2026.This free course offered training in the internationally recognised IEA methodology and tools for collecting and organising national-level energy data by different fuels and sectors of the economy. It focussed on creating complete and accurate energy balances through the use of consistent definitions and units, in order to inform national energy policy and enable consistent international reporting.The course took place on two days from 12:00 to 15:30 Paris time and it will be divided into 7 modules…
