        Renewable energy sources dominate its electricity mix, in particular, accounting for around three-quarters of domestic generation. Other sectors, notably transport and buildings, continue to consume large amounts of energy and rely on dated infrastructure that hinders stronger reductions in energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions. Therefore, energy efficiency and fuel switching in these sectors will require greater focus.
        Latvia’s hydro-dominated electricity system provides a favourable starting point to use clean electricity to decarbonise other economic sectors. Moreover, given Latvia’s historic dependence on…

        Cote D’Ivoire

        Most of Cote d'Ivoire's primary energy demand is covered by local oil refinery supplies and domestic gas production. Almost 60% of the population had access to electricity in the country in 2017, a 10-percentage point’s increase from 2015.

        How global oil supplies have readjusted to help fill the huge gap left by the Strait of Hormuz shock

        commentary Stock drawdowns, alternative routes and suppliers, and agile refiners have all contributed during the crisis, avoiding far more severe impacts on demand Global energy markets have been contending with their largest supply disruption in history resulting from the near closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital artery for oil and gas shipments to reach global markets. The cumulative oil supply losses from producers in the Middle East now exceed 1.3 billion barrels, with flows through the Strait of Hormuz falling from around 20 million barrels per day prior to the conflict to an average of 2.7…

        Sri Lanka

        Sri Lanka’s primary energy supply mainly comes from oil and coal. Almost 40% of Sri Lanka’s electricity came from hydropower in 2017 but coal’s shares in power generation has been increasing since 2010. Sri Lanka is reaching universal access to electricity but clean cooking remain an issue with 15 million people still relying on biomass to cook.

        Businesses see competitive value of energy efficiency, but smaller firms struggle to access solutions

        …even more pronounced.The mining sector illustrated this clearly in their survey responses. With energy typically accounting for 20% to 40% of operating expenditures, mining companies reported the highest perceived impact of energy efficiency efforts on enhanced competitiveness. This was particularly evident in responses from mining companies in India and Indonesia, where reliance on relatively expensive off-grid diesel electricity generation makes reducing energy intensity especially valuable.When businesses were asked how they would respond to higher energy costs, energy efficiency also emerged as the leading strategic response. Almost 40% of industry leaders ranked energy efficiency as the single most…

        Burkina Faso

        In 2019, Burkina Faso’s energy mix was dominated by biofuels and wastes, with oil products accounting for one-third of the total energy supply. In 2020, 11% of the population had access to clean cooking and only 21% had access to electricity, making Burkina Faso one of the world’s least-electrified countries. For electricity, the country has a target of 95% access for urban areas and 50% for rural areas by 2030. For clean cooking, Burkina Faso has a universal access target for urban areas and 65% in rural areas by 2030. The target for LPG urban penetration…
