Globally, energy systems are experiencing significant and fast change, driven by forces such as technological innovation, changes in consumption patterns, supply dynamics and policy shifts. These forces offer opportunities to resolve the challenges that the global energy system faces today, namely: providing energy access to the more than one billion people who lack it, and meeting demand for an additional two billion people by 20503 ,1 while also delivering that energy at an affordable cost and with a declining carbon and emissions footprint.
Key findings There are three major findings from the ETI:
- Over the last five years, more than 80% of countries improved their energy systems, but further effort is needed to resolve the world’s energy-related challenges.
- Countries can foster progress in three ways by: establishing favourable conditions for energy system stakeholders, targeting improvement across all three triangle dimensions, and by pursuing improvement levers with synergistic impact across the system.
- Countries follow different transition paths and need to develop country-specific roadmaps. Comparative analysis among peers can highlight opportunities for improvement.
