On April 28th, millions of people across Spain, Portugal and beyond were plunged into darkness in one of Europe's most severe blackouts in decades. Was it a cyberattack? A renewables failure? Or might things be a little more complex?This week, Tom Rivett-Carnac, Christiana Figueres, and Paul Dickinson dig into what we know, what we don't, and ask what this blackout really tells us about the transition to renewables. They speak with energy strategist Kingsmill Bond of Ember and hear an on-the-ground account from José Manuel Entrecanales, CEO of global renewables leader Acciona, to build a picture of how our grids function – and how they fail.Plus: what can we say when friends or colleagues claim that ‘renewables aren't reliable'? And, after our recent conversations reflecting on the legacy of Pope Francis, what might Pope Leo XIV mean for future climate leadership?Learn more

In this episode of Energy Evolution, host Eklavya Gupte speaks with Tim Gould, chief energy economist at the International Energy Agency (IEA). Gould shares his insights on how the expansion of renewables, coupled with geopolitics and evolving economic policies, is reshaping energy security. Gould explains the need to adapt energy supply security measures as the growth of clean energy leads to new risks, such as those arising from critical minerals and supply chain vulnerabilities. He also tells us how the IEA is beginning to see some shifts in broader energy investment trends due to a “climate of uncertainty" exacerbated by escalating trade tensions. This interview was recorded at the Summit on the Future of Energy Security in London, where representatives from over 60 governments and several energy companies convened to collaborate on the key issues facing energy markets. Energy Evolution has merged with Platts Future Energy, and episodes are now regularly published on Tuesdays.

In deze aflevering hebben we het onder meer over het effect van het beleid van de regering Trump op de wereldwijde energiemarkt. Op de olieprijs bijvoorbeeld, en op de LNG stromen over de wereldzeeën, op China en Europa. En over Europa gesproken: er was afgelopen week een tweedaagse conferentie in Londen over Energy Security – over energiezekerheid – georganiseerd door het IEA en de Britse overheid. Jilles heeft álles op de voet gevolgd. We hebben kort nieuws over CCS, dat in ons deel van de wereld van de grond lijkt te gaan komen, Jilles publiceerde op Energeia een artikel over geothermie en ik had er een op Energiepodium over waarom de EU eerlijk moet zijn over klimaat, kosten en keuzes.

De Week van Energeia is dé nieuwspodcast voor de energieprofessional. Elke vrijdag praten redacteuren van Energeia je in ongeveer twintig minuten bij over de belangrijkste ontwikkelingen in de complexe energiewereld. Met deze week: gasopslag. Het kabinet wil wel een beperkte noodvoorraad aardgas aanleggen, maar geen strategische voorraden waar het land maanden mee zou kunnen overbruggen. Dat schrijft minister Hermans in een Kamerbrief. Daarnaast zijn de Europese lidstaten het eens over soepelere regels rond gasopslagen. Wat hiervan allemaal de betekenis is, vertelt hoofdredacteur Wouter Hylkema. Wouter licht ook toe welke enorme gevolgen de opkomst van kunstmatige intelligentie volgens het IEA heeft voor de energiesector. En waarom een internationaal gelijkstroomnet op zee een stap dichterbij is. Daarmee kan elektriciteit van offshore windparken uitgewisseld worden.

Today we had the pleasure of hosting David Hambling for a sweeping discussion on drone technologies and their applications. David is a journalist, author, and defense technology expert with over 20 years of experience. He writes for Aviation Week, Forbes, The Economist, New Scientist, Popular Mechanics, WIRED, and more (for an archive of David's writings, click here). David is the author of “Swarm Troopers” and has researched the history of drones and in particular, has zeroed in on the potential impact of smaller drones in both military and consumer applications. We were thrilled to visit with David. In our conversation, David shares his background in military technology and how his previous book, “Weapons Grade,” led him to explore the rise of drones. We discuss how the military lost its tech lead due to rapid commercial innovations, particularly as mobile phone technologies enabled the development of small, cheap, and highly capable drones. David explains the evolution of drone use, from reconnaissance tools to precision combat systems, and how this transformation has played out dramatically in the Russia-Ukraine war, where nearly two-thirds of Russian fatalities on Ukrainian soil are reportedly caused by small drones. We explore the shift from human-operated drones to autonomous systems, the difficulty of defending against small, agile drones, and the growing threat that they pose to critical energy and transportation infrastructure. David shares background on the historical cultural bias within militaries that sidelined drones in favor of piloted aircraft, until the CIA's early adoption of drone strikes eventually forced the Air Force to adopt them, as well as the recent surprising Trump Administration decision to continue the Boeing F-47 contract. We cover the regulatory challenges facing drone adoption, particularly the limitations on beyond visual line of sight operations, public concerns around safety and privacy, and global developments including Dubai's plans to pilot flying taxi drones by 2027. David outlines China's dominance in the global drone market, applications of drones including infrastructure inspection, delivery services, reforestation, and the unique Ukrainian “Victory Drone” program that encourages civilians to help war efforts by building drones at home for frontline use. We also touch on China's demographic challenges and how its shrinking and aging population is fueling the nation's strategic investment in AI, robotics, and autonomy, the critical role of software in making humanoid robots useful, especially with using assistive tech for elderly care, and more. We end with David's thoughts on what the drone and robotics landscape might look like in ten years. It was a fascinating and wide-ranging discussion that raised both the opportunities and the ethical complexities involved. Mike Bradley kicked off the show by noting that from a broader equity market standpoint, “Trumpatility” remains alive. Despite S&P volatility being cut in half over the last five trading days, it's still higher than average and will likely stay elevated until we begin to see tariff deals signed. Equity markets feel much worse than reality, given that the S&P 500 is only down ~7% year to date. On the International equity front, Argentina received a $20 billion IMF package last Friday, which could be an extremely important development for the country's long-term growth. On Monday, Argentina allowed its currency to freely float (between 1,000-1,400 pesos per dollar) for the first time in a very long time. In response, Argentinian 10yr bond yields plunged this week by ~150 basis points, and the Argentina equity market (Merval) and major Argentinian Energy equities have both rallied on the IMF deal. From an oil market standpoint, WTI looks to have temporarily stabilized in the low-$60s per barrel range. This week, the IEA slashed both its 2025 &am
In this episode of the Energy News Beat Daily Standup, the host, Michael Tanner breaks down the financial reality of U.S. shale drilling, citing Rystad's analysis that shows full-cycle breakeven oil prices are now around $62.50 per barrel—higher than current WTI prices. He critiques misleading half-cycle economics and warns that current drilling may be unsustainable. Tanner also covers the IMO's new emissions penalties for global shipping, the release of a cost calculator for compliance, and falling oil demand forecasts from the IEA amid rising recession fears. Conventional, vertical drilling may offer more profitable opportunities ahead.Highlights of the Podcast 00:00 - Intro01:19 - Free calculator launched for shipowners to navigate IMO's new green deal03:58 - Lower Oil Prices Threaten Permian Basin Growth08:44 - Markets Update10:37 - OutroPlease see the links below or articles that we discuss in the podcast.Free calculator launched for shipowners to navigate IMO's new green dealLower Oil Prices Threaten Permian Basin GrowthFollow Stuart On LinkedIn and TwitterFollow Michael On LinkedIn and TwitterENB Top NewsEnergy DashboardENB PodcastENB SubstackENB Trading DeskOil & Gas Investing– Get in Contact With The Show –
A dramatic Saturday recall of Parliament delivers a last-minute reprieve for British Steel — but is it a genuine industrial strategy, or just another short-term fix? Meanwhile in Washington, President Trump promised to revive American manufacturing. But can you really rebuild the past — or is this economic cosplay doomed to fail? Broadcaster Albie Amankona and the IEA's Daniel Freeman join CapX's Marc Sidwell to ask a vital question — can Britain resist the noise and rediscover the quiet power of centre-right pragmatism?

ESG – short for Environmental, Social, and Governance – is a framework for evaluating how companies manage sustainability-related risks and opportunities. In ESG investing, environmental, social, and governance factors are integrated into investment decisions, alongside traditional financial metrics. In this episode, James and Daisy discuss ESG. How has sustainable investing evolved? Why is there a growing backlash against ESG? What is greenhushing? SOME RECOMMENDATIONS: John Elkington, a world authority on corporate responsibility and sustainable capitalism, coined the phrase “people, planet, profit” in 1994 to describe the Triple Bottom Line. Originally intended as a tool to drive systems change and transform capitalism – not just as an accounting framework – Elkington later called for a "product recall" of the concept.21st Century Investing: Redirecting Financial Strategies to Drive Systems Change by William Burckart and Steve Lydenberg – This book explores the evolution of investing from traditional models to sustainable approaches that consider environmental and social factors. The authors advocate for a third stage: system-level investing, where investors actively support and enhance the stability and health of the social, financial, and environmental systems on which they depend for long-term returns. Aniket Shah is Managing Director and Global Head of Sustainability, Transition and Washington DC Strategy at Jefferies, a top global investment bank. We enjoyed this 10-minute video where he speaks about ESG and Impact Investing. SYSTEMIQ (2025) – This essay “Shock Therapy” explores what a deep reset of the sustainability movement might look like. Part of The Blue Whale Inquiry, it draws on insights from interviews with over 50 leaders across business, finance, government, politics, and civil society to understand what it takes to shift stubborn economic systems. OTHER ADVOCATES, FACTS, AND RESOURCES:United Nations (2004) – ESG first appeared in the UN Global Compact report “Who Cares Wins”, developed with twenty financial institutions. It encouraged the financial sector to integrate environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors into analysis, asset management, and brokerage.EU Taxonomy – allows financial and non-financial companies to share a common definition of economic activities that can be considered environmentally sustainable.IEA (2024) – “Global energy investment is set to exceed USD 3 trillion for the first time in 2024, with USD 2 trillion going to clean energy technologies and infrastructure. Investment in clean energy has accelerated since 2020, and spending on renewable power, grids and storage is now higher than total spending on oil, gas, and coal.”CDP – a global non-profit that runs the world's only independent environmental disclosure system. The Taskforce on Inequality and Social-related Financial Disclosures (TISFD) – a global initiative to develop guidance for businesses and financial institutions to understand and report on impacts, dependencies, risks, and opportunities related to people. Growing inequality is recognized as a systemic risk with economic and political implications for global markets.Brundtland Report (1987) – Our Common Future, published by the UN, defined ‘sustainable development as "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs".Morningstar (2025) – “Despite reduced fund flows, global sustainable fund assets reached an all-time high of USD 3.2 trillion at the end of 2024, an 8% increase from the previous year and more than quadruple the size in 2018. Europe remains the leading market, housing 84% of the assets.”Generation Investment Management – “Generation is a pure-play sustainable investment manager. It is all we do. It is all we will ever do.” – Founded in 2004 by Al Gore and David Blood, Generation is a dedicated sustainable investment firm focused on long-term value, integrated sustainability research, and strong client alignment. It has demonstrated that mission-driven investing can deliver superior returns.Octopus (2024) – The Future Generations Report 2024 – “Celebrating the impact that you, as an Octopus shareholder, employee or customer, have on the world.”Dame Julia Anne Hoggett DBE, a British banker and risk manager, became CEO of the London Stock Exchange in April 2021. With a background in development economics focused on Sub-Saharan Africa, she believes the job of the capital markets is “to facilitate the investment that creates the invention, production, jobs and productivity that drives the economy, improves real incomes and peoples' lives”. As noted in the episode, some state funds have been withdrawn from investors applying ESG policies. For example, in March 2022, West Virginia pulled assets from a fund managed by BlackRock, citing the firm's “net-zero investment strategies that would harm the coal, oil and natural gas industries.”Thank you for listening!

What happens when the world's biggest economy slams the brakes on global trade? In just weeks, Donald Trump's tariff blitz has shattered decades of US-led liberalisation — and the fallout is only just beginning. As prices creep higher and wallets tighten, will the political backlash bite harder than the economic one? And in the UK, could fiscal fear turn into fiscal flair? CapX editor Marc Sidwell is joined by the IEA's Reem Ibrahim and Dominic Pino of the National Review Institute to explore whether this era of upheaval might just offer the chance to rewrite the economic rulebook.

Ten years after the historic climate agreement reached at COP21 in Paris, considerable progress has been made in areas ranging from energy efficiency and renewables deployment to electric vehicles and heat pumps. However, this progress is well below that required to deliver on the goals in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement, and investment in clean energy remains uneven. As political headwinds increase, Brian Motherway considers what the past decade has taught us in terms of global engagement on climate and clean energy, and what we have learned in terms of engaging citizens and societies in the vital project of clean energy transitions. This event is part of the IIEA's REthink Energy series, organised in partnership with ESB, Ireland's state-owned electricity company. Speaker bio: Brian Motherway is Head of the Office of Energy Efficiency and Inclusive Transitions at the International Energy Agency. He oversees analytical and outreach programmes supporting energy efficiency globally. He also leads IEA's work with governments on people-centred policymaking, addressing issues such as skills, inclusion and fairness in clean energy policies. Prior to joining the IEA, Brian was Chief Executive of the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland.
In deze aflevering… Vorige week was de CERAWeek, in Houston, de hoogmis van de internationale energiewereld. Iedereen die er een beetje toe doet, was er. Zoals Fatih Birol, Executive Director van het IEA, die al op de eerste dag een opvallende draai maakte: de wereld moet weer meer in olie en gas gaan investeren. De internationale gas-industrie is bezorgd over de mogelijke terugkeer van Russisch gas op de wereldmarkt. Waarom, en is die angst terecht? Donald Trump ziet ondertussen graag dat de olieprijs flink daalt, maar wil tegelijk dat bedrijven ook méér olie en gas gaan produceren. Kan dat samengaan, en zo ja: hoe? En we hebben het over Brussel, waar alles rozengeur en maneschijn lijkt, als je de Europese Commissie mag geloven.
(The Center Square) – Although most Illinois public school students test below grade level in reading and math, Gov. J.B. Pritzker is touting his administration's record spending on public education. Pritzker addressed the Illinois Education Association Representative Assembly in Rosemont Thursday. The governor encouraged union members to fight back against potential cuts to the U.S. Department of Education by President Donald Trump and the Department of Government Efficiency. “IEA, are you ready for the fight? Let's go get ‘em everybody. Let's go beat ‘em,” Pritzker said.
Infrastructure investments have long been recognized as a foundation for economic growth and low carbon infrastructure is increasingly becoming an area of interest for investors in both public and private markets. But how will low carbon infrastructure play a role in the evolving energy investing landscape? Helen Jewell, Chief Investment Officer for fundamental equities at BlackRock helps us explore the significance of infrastructure from an investing perspective, the opportunities in public markets, and the long-term growth potential from investments in renewable energy.Sources: “Growth in global electricity demand is set to accelerate in coming years” in IEA, February 2025; BGF Sustainable Growth Infrastructure Fund, Fundamental Equities, BlackRock Febrruary 2025; FTSE Developed Core Infrastructure Index = 3.35%, Source: FTSE Russell as at 31 January 2025; National Grid Sell US Onshore Renewables Arm $174billion Brookfield” Reuters, February 2024; Bloomberg NEF, January 2025; Bloomberg New Energy Outlook, 2025; “How Copper Will Shape Our Future” BHP, September 2025;This content is for informational purposes only and is not an offer or a solicitation.

After last week's stunning scenes in the White House, murmurs of President Zelensky's downfall are growing louder. Could he be sidelined in favour of a Kremlin-friendly puppet? Meanwhile, Washington hints that Britain could dodge tariffs with the right deal—but can London really bank on special treatment? And as BP shifts back to oil, is this a pragmatic market reset or the moment Big Energy turns its back on net zero? Marc Sidwell is joined by economist Cornelia Meyer and the IEA's Daniel Freeman to unpack the deals reshaping global markets. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What are the implications of the IEA's view that world demand for all fossil fuels will peak and begin a slow decline within the next five years?
The IEA Ralph Harris Centenary Lecture features an opening address by Brian Kingham, Founder and Chairman of Reliance Security Group, who shares his personal experiences with Ralph Harris and the Institute of Economic Affairs during Britain's turbulent 1970s. As a 25-year-old entrepreneur employing 500 people, Kingham discovered the IEA's innovative market-based solutions while navigating a hostile business environment characterised by trade union power, excessive regulation, and punitive taxation reaching 83%. Kingham vividly describes the economic challenges of the era: businesses operating by candlelight during the three-day week, compulsory trade union membership, and a pervasive pessimism among Conservative politicians who saw Britain's decline as inevitable. Against this backdrop, he recounts finding Ralph Harris and Arthur Seldon "not 3 minutes from here," leading a small group of thinkers who offered an alternative vision for Britain's future through free-market principles. The talk culminates with Kingham's reflection on the IEA's pivotal role in shaping Margaret Thatcher's economic thinking. He describes how Harris and his "dangerous radicals" helped convince Thatcher of their approach, leading to what he calls "a complete intellectual triumph" that influenced economic policy worldwide. The lecture, marking the centenary of Ralph Harris's birth, celebrates his legacy as a public servant whose ideas helped lift millions out of poverty and continue to influence economic thinking today.

IEA's Communications Officer Reem Ibrahim discusses the UK's welfare system challenges, noting that 10% of working-age adults receive out-of-work benefits, many citing mental health reasons after the pandemic. The discussion references a documentary where a JobCentre discouraged a benefits claimant from job training, suggesting it could risk their existing benefits. Ibrahim argues that signing people off work for mental health issues may hinder rather than help their recovery. The conversation explores how pension costs now exceed twice the Ministry of Defence's budget. Ibrahim points to a case where a single mother received £40,000 in combined benefits, well above the UK's average £30,000 salary, highlighting problems in the current system.

In this episode, host Matt Bufton interviews historian Steve Davies about the political realignment happening across the Western world. Steve explains how traditional divisions in politics, such as socialism versus capitalism, have been replaced by a new axis centered on nationalism versus globalism. He critiques both "national collectivism" and "technocratic liberal progressivism" while discussing the implications for classical liberalism. The conversation also touches on the influence of leaders like Donald Trump, Justin Trudeau, and Emmanuel Macron, and explores what the future holds for liberal ideas in a shifting political landscape.

The Institute of Economic Affairs is one of the most powerful and secretive think tanks in the UK, known for promoting free-market Thatcherism as a solution to all of our economic woes. Who's behind it? This week, Kristian Niemietz, a director at the IEA and a long-time Novara Media hater, sits down with Aaron for […]
In this GB News interview, Institute of Economic Affairs Executive Director Tom Clougherty discusses Britain's economic challenges and the need for new radical ideas to overcome them. Addressing years of high taxes and low growth, he explains how many young Brits in their twenties and thirties have never experienced real economic growth, with incomes remaining stagnant since 2007.Rather than pointing to a single solution, Clougherty argues that Britain needs hundreds of changes across the economy. He discusses the need to reform energy policy, housing, and what he calls a "bureaucratic state" that's suffocating growth.Clougherty also discusses the IEA's role and mission to develop the ideas we need to overcome the greatest challenges we face today. The IEA will be at the forefront of the drive for fresh thinking and radical change required to return economic dynamism back to Britain. This is a public episode.

In this new interview with libertarian power couple Matt and Terry Kibbe, founders of Free the People, hosted by IEA's Communications Manager, Reem Ibrahim, they explore how storytelling and personal narratives can effectively communicate ideas of liberty and economic freedom. From Terry's experience in the defence industry to Matt's discovery of libertarianism through Rush albums and Austrian economics, their journey showcases innovative approaches to reaching new audiences. The discussion delves into their successful strategy of making complex economic concepts accessible through relatable content and storytelling. Their work at Free the People demonstrates how video content and documentaries can bridge political divides, featuring stories from Cuban artists to family-owned businesses affected by COVID-19 policies. Host Reem Ibrahim and the Kibbes examine concerning trends, including that 53% of young adults (18-34) in the UK view socialism favourably. However, they remain optimistic about the future of liberty-focused ideas, particularly through their "gateway drug" approach of introducing these concepts through engaging, personal stories that resonate across political spectrums.

In this quick-hit episode, IEA's Editorial Director Kristian Niemietz discusses Ludwig von Mises' 1944 book "Bureaucracy" and its relevance to modern government reform efforts. The conversation explores why simply bringing private sector managers into government - like the recent initiative involving Elon Musk - might not be the solution Mises would have recommended. Niemietz explains how Mises saw bureaucracy not as inherently good or bad, but as an inevitable way of organising activity when economic calculation isn't possible. Unlike private companies that can measure success through profit and loss, public sector organisations lack clear metrics, leading them to focus on following processes rather than achieving outcomes. This fundamental difference, rather than the quality of personnel, explains why government departments operate differently than businesses. The discussion then turns to practical implications, comparing different approaches to government reform - from internal efficiency improvements to outright privatisation. Niemietz suggests that while Mises might have been too extreme in rejecting all possibilities for improving state efficiency, his core insight remains valuable: rather than trying to make government do everything better, we should focus on determining what government should and shouldn't do in the first place.

Join host Callum Price, IEA's Director of Communications, along with Christopher Snowdon, Head of Lifestyle Economics, and Kristian Niemietz, Editorial Director, as they explore the recent farmers' protests in Westminster over inheritance tax changes. Our panel dives into the complex debate around taxing agricultural assets, food security, and the broader implications for Britain's countryside. The discussion weighs the principles of fair taxation against the practical challenges faced by family farms and agricultural businesses. The conversation then shifts to the latest free speech controversy involving police action against a journalist over a tweet. Our guests examine how the discourse around free speech has evolved, noting how different political groups change their stance depending on who's being censored. Snowdon and Niemietz discuss the concerning trend of "sensible centrists" failing to defend free speech principles consistently. Finally, Price leads the panel in analysing the growing competition between X (formerly Twitter) and BlueSky, examining whether social media platforms are truly natural monopolies. The panel explores how user migration works, the role of influential accounts in platform shifts, and whether these platforms are becoming increasingly politically segregated. They also debate whether platform ownership affects content moderation and user experience. We bring you a public affairs podcast with a difference.

Rising electricity demand. Heightened geopolitical tension. Fragility in energy markets. These are some of the big stories shaping the energy transition outlined in the International Energy Agency's newest World Energy Outlook. Even as the IEA says the world is shifting from the "Age of Oil" to the "Age of Electricity," we are still far from achieving net-zero targets. And the tensions highlighted in the latest Energy Outlook illustrate how difficult the transition will be. This week, host Jason Bordoff talks with Tim Gould about the 2024 World Energy Outlook, published in October. They discuss the significant progress countries have made on the energy transition, and the structural shifts in economies and energy use that lie ahead. Tim is the International Energy Agency's chief energy economist. As part of his role, he co-leads the World Energy Outlook. Tim joined the IEA in 2008 as a specialist on Russian and Caspian energy. Prior to joining the IEA, he worked on European and Eurasian energy issues in Brussels.
