Energy efficiency is central to the global energy transition. It is the world's most available, secure and affordable energy resource, and governments around the world have the power to further exploit this resource for widespread benefit.
Energy Efficiency 2017 examines the trends, indicators, impacts and drivers of energy efficiency progress, building on the analysis and approach adopted for the 2016 report (formerly known as the Energy Efficiency Market Report).
As the global hub for energy efficiency, the IEA is working to improve understanding of the status, drivers and benefits of energy efficiency. Energy Efficiency 2017 is the key global tracker of energy efficiency progress and a vital information resource for policy makers and companies seeking to reap the multiple benefits of energy efficiency.
This year's report also includes a special country focus on Indonesia, the largest energy consumer in Southeast Asia.
About the IEA: The International Energy Agency, the global energy authority, was founded in 1974 to help its member countries co-ordinate a collective response to major oil supply disruptions. Its mission has evolved and rests today on three main pillars: working to ensure global energy security; expanding energy cooperation and dialogue around the world; and promoting an environmentally sustainable energy future.
