Big expectations on energy efficiency…
Energy efficiency is essential and needs to play a leading role in sustainable energy transitions.

…But, we are not on track
The annual rate of improvement in global primary energy intensity has been slowing in recent years,
dropping from a high of nearly 3% in 2015 to 1.9% in 2017, and falling again to 1.3% in 2018.

Modernising energy efficiency through digitalisation
The IEA has launched a cross-agency initiative to explore the potential impacts of digitalisation on
energy efficiency and implications for policy makers.
• Ensuring end-use efficiency
Greater control and optimisation
New business models
Enabling behaviour change
• Enabling system efficiency
Optimal use of infrastructure
Integrating variable renewables
More precise valuation of efficiency resources
• Enhancing policy efficiency
Precise targeting & implementation
Improved market surveillance
Granular data and robust M&V

Digitalisation can accelerate and scale up end-use efficiency…
Digitalization has the potential to reshape, modernise, transform demand-side sectors.
Policies are essential to maximise benefits and reap energy saving opportunities.
Transport
• Key digital trends across all
modes: connectivity, sharing, and
automation
• Digital solutions for trucks and
logistics could reduce energy use
for road freight by 20-25%
Buildings
• Smart building controls will
improve comfort and transform
building energy use
• Globally, buildings energy use
could be reduced by 10% to 2040
Industry
• Digital energy management
systems enable real time data and
control
• Plant level savings in the region of
10 – 20% of energy use (just
through optimization)

New markets for flexibility and ancillary services are needed, and existing markets need to opened to
new business models such as aggregation and virtual power plants.
…And unlock further opportunities in the wider energy system
1 billion households and
11 billion smart appliances
could actively participate in
interconnected electricity
systems

Online community
A platform for discussing and sharing knowledge
and experience on:
• Digitalisation for energy efficiency (across
sectors & systems, in policy development)
• Framework conditions needed to enable
innovation, new business models and
deployment

Policies for digitalisation
• Globally, governments are undergoing
“digital transformations”
• Frameworks have been developed to
promote good practice digital policy
• IEA will identify policy factors to support
digital energy efficiency
• This will build on existing work, including:
- Going Digital Integrated Policy Framework
(OECD, 2019)
- No regrets policy recommendations for
digitalisation and energy (IEA, 2017)
