EEAP Webinar: Energy Efficiency for Developing Countries: Pivoting the Focus from Savings to Increased Outputs

28th April at 11.30AM IST

Much of the analysis of energy efficiency investments has focused on energy savings.  But for developing countries, the value of energy efficiency arguably lies more in the additional goods and services that energy efficiency can generate to raise standards of living.  This webinar will discuss how to adapt economic analysis to capture this different perspective.

Tracking energy end-use trends and policy impacts during the Covid-19 crisis

Webinar #18 of the Energy Evaluation Academy. Speakers: Jeremy Sung, Florian Mante, Mathilde Daugy and Louis Chambeau, experts of the IEA (International Energy Agency).

View the recordings of the webinar here.

Download the slides here.

This presentation discussed how policy analysts have monitored energy efficiency trends and policy impacts during the Covid-19 crisis. On one hand, novel data sources have made analysing changes during the crisis much easier. On the other, the crisis poses longer-term challenges for analysing policy impacts, particularly due to large changes in time series data.

This was illustrated with results from the IEA’s Energy Efficiency 2020 report, as well as analyses done by IEA’s Energy Data Centre (EDC).

Kathleen Gaffney

The whole Energy Evaluation community has been saddened by the loss of Kathleen who passed away in Paris on 21 January 2021.

Kathleen was a leader in the evaluation field
with a career which included roles at DNV GL
and Navigant in the US, Australia and the UK.

In 2018 Kathleen joined the International
Energy Agency as a Senior Programme
Manager where she was able to share her
experience more broadly and with young
people in particular.

Kathleen has been actively involved with
Energy Evaluation and our sister
organisation IEPEC contributing numerous
conference papers over the last 20 years.
She was co-chair of our conference in Vienna in 2018 and for the online conference that will be held in March 2021.

It was always a pleasure to work with Kathleen. Her great energy, expertise and enthusiasm will continue to be a source of inspiration for all of us. She will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her.

A fund has been established to create a lasting memorial to Kathleen, for more information and an opportunity to contribute visit https://www.lepotcommun.fr/pot/b8mqbt9x.
