        Laos

        Laos’ 2011 Renewable Energy Development Strategy aims to achieve a renewable energy share of 30% in total energy consumption by 2025. The policy encourages investment in renewables and small power development for self-sufficiency and grid connection.

        IEA Guide to Reporting Energy Technology RD&D Budgets

        This manual, developed by the International Energy Agency (IEA), provides comprehensive guidance for national experts responsible for reporting energy technology research, development, and demonstration (RD&D) budgets. It outlines the methodology and classification system used to collect and structure RD&D data across IEA member countries, ensuring consistency and comparability. The manual is divided into two main sections: fundamentals of RD&D budget reporting and a detailed classification of energy technologies. It defines RD&D in alignment with the OECD Frascati Manual and clarifies the scope of public and private sector reporting. It also provides instructions for completing the IEA…

Temperatures are expected to rise further, reaching up to 5.6 °C above pre‑industrial levels in a high-emissions scenario by the end of the century. Warming has led to more frequent, lengthy and intense heatwaves: Between 2000 and 2023, cooling degree days (CDDs) increased at a rate of more than 100 degree days per decade, while heating degree days (HDDs) decreased by around 70 degree days per decade, significantly driving up cooling needs. Between 2022 and 2024, residential electricity demand…

        This underscores that there is no uniform solution to meeting Indonesia’s energy access targets, and that a great deal of pragmatism and flexibility will be needed to meet its goal of universal access by 2024. In recognition, the plans introduced by the government of Indonesia are multi-dimensional; they include the extension of the existing grid, promoting micro-hydro and off-grid solar technologies as well as solar-diesel hybrid and isolated diesel generators. While…

        Ethiopia

        In Ethiopia, while electricity reaches less than half of the population, great progress has been made over the past two decades. The National Electrification Program, launched in 2017, outlines a plan to reach universal access by 2025, aiming to supply 35% of the population with off-grid solutions. Meanwhile, Ethiopia is diversifying its hydro-dominated installed generation mix in favour of solar, wind and geothermal to pursue a more climate-resilient power system and reach economic development objectives.

        Mali

        In recent years, the rate of access to electricity in Mali has surpassed 25%, thanks to a public focus on mini-grid solutions. The government of Mali now plans to increase hybridisation of its mini-grids by adding PV capacity to diesel power plants. In 2019, Mali’s energy mix was dominated by biofuels and wastes (65%) and oil products (32%), with coal and hydro accounting for the rest. In 2020, less than 5% of the population had access to clean cooking and 52% had access to electricity. For electricity access, the country targets 70% access by 2025, 80% by…

        Venezuela

        The Venezuela Plan for the National Electric System aims to integrate renewables in the power system by including it in medium and long-term strategies. It aims to develop the use of renewables within isolated rural communities including solar, small hydro and biogas.

By 2030, this share is set to rise to about 3% in the IEA’s base case, with electricity demand from data centres worldwide more than doubling to around 945 terawatt-hours (TWh). That is slightly more than the entire electricity consumption of Japan today. While this is still a relatively small portion of the global total, the effects are poised to be particularly strong in some countries. For example…

        Electricity Market Design

        Building on strengths, addressing gaps Electricity markets play a central role in balancing supply and demand, guiding operational decisions and shaping investment outcomes. As systems change with higher shares of variable generation, greater decentralisation and evolving patterns of electricity use, the ability of market designs to deliver secure and affordable electricity has never been more critical. If market arrangements do not keep pace with these developments, the functioning of electricity systems could become more uncertain and more costly.This report provides a cross-regional assessment of how wholesale electricity markets and their complementary policy mechanisms are performing today. We find…
