Ensuring secure & diversified renewables supply chains is vital as their role in energy systems grow.

China continues to lead solar module manufacturing – a market that is highly concentrated today.

But India is emerging as a key alternative 👉 https://t.co/TMCZR1yeIJ

Relatively small amounts of critical minerals underpin trillions of dollars in economic value globally

The rare earth export controls introduced in 2025 highlighted the vulnerabilities of concentrated supply chains – & the importance of diversification 👉 https://t.co/zshwfrovJf

[Fatih Birol @fbirol]

Delighted to catch up with Prime Minister Albanese (@AlboMP) of Australia ahead of our COP31 World Leaders meeting on electrification

I commended him for Australia's leadership as President of #COP31 Negotiations, and we discussed @IEA-🇦🇺 cooperation on a range of energy issues

Excellent discussions at the #COP31 Global Electrification Ministerial & Forum with interventions from Ministers from across the globe

International collaboration will be key to harnessing the benefits electrification can bring for energy security, affordability & sustainability

[International Energy Agency @IEA]

To overcome grid connection delays, data centre developers are pushing forward projects with onsite natural gas-based power generation

But with most centres still aiming to connect to the grid in the long-term, addressing bottlenecks remains crucial 👉 https://t.co/oPlklGL7zE

[Fatih Birol @fbirol]

Delighted to co-chair with 🇹🇷 Minister @aBayraktar1 the #COP31-@IEA Energy Ministerial in Antalya

Dozens of ministers & business leaders from around the world discussed how electrification can help countries meet rising energy demand while making systems more secure & affordable

[International Energy Agency @IEA]

The use of renewables for transport is on course to rise by more than 60% in the next 5 years

Renewable electricity for EVs is the biggest contributor, followed by biofuels, which several countries are turning to amid high fuel prices & supply concerns → https://t.co/TMCZR1yeIJ

[Fatih Birol @fbirol]

Very good exchange with Azerbaijan’s Minister of Energy, my friend Parviz Shahbazov (@ParvizShahbazov)

We spoke about how discussions in Antalya can build on outcomes from COP29 in Baku 🇦🇿 , including the Global Energy Storage & Grids Pledge, and from other previous COPs

[International Energy Agency @IEA]

Despite a challenging backdrop for the global car market, electric car sales rebounded sharply in Q2 2026.

Record quarterly sales in 50 countries have lifted the outlook, with EVs now expected to account for 29% of all cars sold this year 👉 https://t.co/uDFdZyBRJC

[International Energy Agency @IEA]

Consumers are boosting renewables' growth in many countries – with households & small businesses turning to affordable rooftop solar that can be installed quickly

These systems have already improved electricity services for about 70 million households 👉 https://t.co/TMCZR1yeIJ

[Fatih Birol @fbirol]

Great to catch up with my friend Minister Chris Bowen of Australia, the President of Negotiations at COP31 here in Antalya

We discussed several key energy-related issues, and I thanked him for the close cooperation between 🇦🇺 & @IEA for COP31 & beyond

[International Energy Agency @IEA]

The energy workforce in Latin America & the Caribbean is booming – adding 750,000 jobs since 2019. This makes energy one of the region's strongest drivers of employment.

Our commentary with @OLACDEORG examines the implications of this rapid growth 👉 https://t.co/GcOK0P3oTz
