Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan has one of the highest energy self-sufficiency ratios in the world as a major crude oil and natural gas producer. While the renewable sector has not seen as much attention, the government is now looking to stimulate investment and accelerate deployment, allowing for diversification of domestic energy consumption. In addition, the government is working on a new energy strategy that will set the stage for further policy shifts. Azerbaijan is part of the EU4Energy Programme, an initiative focused on evidence-based policymaking for the energy sector.

Data centre electricity use surged in 2025, even with tightening bottlenecks driving a scramble for solutions
…and other necessary approvals.To solve the energy challenges at hand, the tech sector is adopting new approaches. It accounted for around 40% of all corporate power purchase agreements for renewables signed in 2025, and is also now a major source of momentum for the nuclear and advanced geothermal industries. The pipeline of conditional offtake agreements between data centre operators and small modular reactor (SMR) nuclear projects has grown from 25 gigawatts at the end of 2024 to 45 gigawatts today, indicating that the momentum behind AI could accelerate the commercialisation of new energy technologies. Constrained by slow grid connections…

Multiple Benefits of Energy Efficiency
As energy efficiency continues to gain attention as a key resource for economic and social development across all economies, understanding its real value is increasingly important. The multiple benefits approach seeks to expand the perspective of energy efficiency beyond the traditional measure of energy savings by identifying and measuring its impacts in full bloom.

Grid investments
…nuclear. Key analysis IEA analysis of nine major regions shows that increasing electricity generation and grid capacity by one terawatt-hour (TWh), will require investments of USD 30 to 110 million in emerging economies and USD 75 to 150 million in advanced economies. In order to save the same amount of electricity, energy efficiency measures would cost only between USD 10 million and 50 million. A closer look at grid management The deployment of energy efficiency measures typically requires less time than the implementation of most new generation and grid infrastructure. On average, new generation and grid infrastructure can take years to implement, whereas efficiency measures…

Global Energy Review 2025
…demand for electricity rising almost twice as fast as wider energy demand due to higher demand for cooling, rising consumption by industry, the electrification of transport and the growth of data centres and artificial intelligence. Nearly all of the rise in electricity demand was met by low-emissions sources, led by the record-breaking expansion of solar PV capacity, with further growth in other renewables and nuclear power. Gas demand also picked up substantially, while oil and coal consumption increased more slowly than in 2023.CO2 emissions from the energy sector continued to increase in 2024 but at a slower…

Regulators from around the world convene in Paris as new network aims to tackle methane emissions
The IEA, together with the UNEP‑convened Climate and Clean Air Coalition (CCAC), co‑hosted the inaugural plenary meeting of the Methane Regulator‑to‑Regulator (MR2R) Network at the IEA headquarters in Paris on 14-15 April 2026.The two‑day meeting brought together government officials and regulators from nearly 30 countries and regional organisations, alongside representatives from international partner organisations. The MR2R Network is a joint initiative of the IEA and CCAC, designed to support peer‑to‑peer exchange among regulators and accelerate effective methane abatement.Participants exchanged views on the latest global methane emissions trends and explored how regulators can translate high-level commitments into…

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.

Energy Efficiency Hub International collaborations
A platform for global collaboration on energy efficiency The Energy Efficiency Hub is a new platform for global collaboration on energy efficiency. Its Secretariat is hosted at the IEA to take advantage of natural synergies with the work of the Agency. The Hub aims to facilitate government-to-government exchanges on efficiency policy, regulation and implementation, focusing on buildings, industry, appliances, and transport. The Hub takes on issues important to...

Household Energy Affordability
Energy is one of the top expenses for millions of households, making energy affordability an important policy concern for governments. The impacts of the global energy crisis on consumer prices have been significantly felt in household budgets. Despite coming down from their peak in 2022, prices remain elevated compared to pre-crisis levels and households continue to grapple with higher living costs.This report sets out to identify key trends that are shaping the state of energy affordability around the world today. It explores how system drivers and household energy consumption influence the makeup of energy bills and opens a…
