The IEA's latest report, Digitalization & Energy, is the first-ever comprehensive effort to depict how digital technologies could transform the world's energy systems. The report examines the impact of digital technologies on energy demand sectors, looks at how energy suppliers can use digital tools to improve operations, and explores the transformational potential of digitalization to help create a highly interconnected energy system.
From the rise of connected devices at home, to automated industrial production processes, and smart mobility, digital technologies are increasingly changing how, where and when energy is consumed. Please join Dr Fatih Birol, the Executive Director of the International Energy Agency, and the report's co-lead authors Laura Cozzi and Dave Turk, for an on-the-record webinar to review the report's main findings.
To register, please contact press@iea.org. Members of the media can also request a copy of the report under embargo.

The report will be available on the IEA's website on 6 November 2017 at 9AM Paris time (8AM London) and will include an interactive page at iea.org/digital.
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.
