Who is the IEA? 1/2

International Energy Agency
Formed in 1974 with the mandate to promote energy

security through collective response to oil supply disruptions and authoritative research and analysis on energy for its 28 member countries Today our overall efforts can be summarised by:
Energy Security, Environmental protection, Economic growth and Engagement worldwide

Key Efforts Needed

Technology
Build up commercial-scale demonstrations that operate across system sectors,

incorporating business models addressing cost, security and sustainability. Develop global technology standards to optimise and accelerate development and deployment while reducing costs Integrate with existing and new electricity infrastructure considerations needed

Policy and Regulation

Evolve electricity system regulation to address changing system needs and take

advantage of new technology - leadership given by governments and private sector Address system-wide and cross-sector barriers to enable practical sharing of smart grids costs and benefits. Address cyber security issues proactively through both regulation and application of best practice. Develop smart customers through codifying best practice, demonstrate and deploy engaging pricing policies and usage tools, protection systems and approaches for data treatment and implement social safety nets

Key Efforts Needed continued

Building Consensus
Accelerate education and improve understanding of electricity system customers and

stakeholders (including energy utilities, regulators and consumer advocates)

International Collaboration
Expand smart grid collaboration; particularly related to standards and sharing

demonstration findings in technology, policy, regulation and business model development. Link with electricity system technology areas that are not exclusively focused on smart grids. Expand capacity-building efforts in rapidly developing countries tailored to contexts such as rural electrification, island systems and alternative billing approaches.

Smart grids in emerging economies and developing countries

Under the right conditions

emerging economies could leap-frog directly to smart grid infrastructure Targeted analysis and roadmaps created collaboratively with developed and developing countries are required to determine specific needs and solutions in technology and regulation.

Developing and emerging economies can use smart grids to build from household electrification to community and regional systems
