The IEA examines the

full spectrum

of energy issues

including oil, gas and

coal supply and

demand, renewable

energy technologies,

electricity markets,

energy efficiency,

access to energy,

demand side

management and

much more. Through

its work, the IEA

advocates policies that

will enhance the

reliability, affordability

and sustainability of

Abstract

Energy Efficiency 2023 is the IEA’s primary annual analysis on global

developments in energy efficiency markets and policy. It explores recent trends in

energy intensity, demand and efficiency-related investment, policy and

technology. This tenth edition of the market report also features a new spotlight

section, focused on key issues facing policy makers this year. In particular, the

report details what is entailed with the proposed global target to double energy

efficiency progress and what will be gained by achieving it.

This year’s report comes amidst the ongoing effects of the energy and climate

crises in what is expected to be the hottest year on record. In this context, 2023

global energy efficiency progress, as measured by primary energy intensity, is

expected to be slightly below the long-term trend in a slow down from 2022.

However, the report makes clear that a profound transformation is underway in

energy efficiency and clean energy more broadly, with many governments

introducing new, or strengthening existing, policies and energy-saving

programmes. These policies are leading to faster deployment of efficient

technologies and are contributing towards an expected peaking of fossil fuel

demand in the coming years.
