Electricity 2026 Grids
…connect things”: enabling more capacity to be integrated more quickly through regulatory reforms and deployment of technologies that can deliver rapid grid upgrades. Greater demand-side participation and the expansion of utility-scale battery storage are additional levers for enhancing system flexibility and managing congestion, which are addressed in detail in the subsequent chapter on Flexibility.This chapter on grids also includes a dedicated section on the synchronisation of the Baltic power system in February 2025, a landmark technical and political achievement. Grid technologies and regulatory reforms unlock grid capacity Accelerating the build out of grids is a key imperative…

Financing Electricity Access in Africa Beyond new connections
…businesses on the continent. Improving sex-disaggregated data is key to understanding both supply- and demand-side challenges, as well as introducing tailored financial products such as loans backed by cash flows or moveable collateral.The impact of concessional capital is maximised when directed to the most underserved communities and to close affordability gaps – roles that other providers are unable to fill. It is crucial to build an enabling environment by improving data availability, supporting policy reform and developing local capacity. To ensure financing is catalytic, investors need to take higher-risk positions, support innovative deal structures, scale up risk…

World Energy Outlook 2025 Overview and key findings
…with emerging market and developing economies driving the increase, led by India and Southeast Asia. Differences in the pace at which new technologies are brought into the energy system are reflected in the trajectories for fossil fuels. In the CPS, oil and natural gas demand continue to grow to mid-century, although coal goes into decline before 2030. In the STEPS, coal use peaks earlier than in the CPS and oil demand flattens by the end of the decade, but natural gas demand continues to grow into the 2030s, as a wave of new liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports brings…

Graphite
Outlook for key energy transition minerals This report provides an outlook for demand and supply for key energy minerals including copper, lithium, nickel, cobalt, graphite and rare earth elements. Demand projections encompass both key energy technologies and other uses under different IEA Scenarios. Supply projections are based on a detailed review of all announced projects. They show how today's geographical concentration evolves over time, for both mining and refining and how expected supply compares with primary supply requirements.

Delivering Sustainable Fuels Executive summary
…Sustainable fuels can also enhance energy security, stimulate economic development and strengthen environmental sustainability.Greater use of sustainable fuels can bolster energy security by diversifying fuel supply and reducing fossil-fuel import dependence. Sustainable fuels can be produced from domestic resources in many countries, reducing exposure to volatile international oil and gas markets and supply risks. In 2024, liquid biofuels lowered transport fuel import dependence by 5-15 percentage points in relevant importing countries, and global oil demand was around 2.5 million barrels per day lower than it would have been without their contribution.Sustainable fuels can be a…

Sustainable Transport for Georgia: A Roadmap Transport in Georgia: Taking stock
…53%, while the population is steadily aging due to lower fertility rates and emigration. Younger Georgians are increasingly moving to cities, concentrating economic activity in urban areas.Economic gains have been broadly shared: average real incomes rose by nearly 50% from 2009 to 2019, and combined declared income plus social assistance for vulnerable groups increased by 86%. Real energy tariffs decreased – household electricity by 14.4% and natural gas by 20% – while access expanded. These improvements, together with a competitive business environment, a strategic location and strong institutional reforms, have positioned Georgia to capitalise on its economic, energy and transpo...
