The IEA is at the centre of international global energy policy, butwe recognise that in order to

maintain thatpositionweneed to reachbeyondour traditional focus andmembership. Inmany

andqualityof life for thisgenerationand theones tocome.Formanyyears, the IEAhasworked

beyond its membership, initiating projects and activities to engage with partners, and identify

sharedinterestswithothersbeyonditsmembership.

hope to trackprogress towardunifiedgoalsas laiddown in theStrategicPaper,and to recognise

Agencywide

In2012,someofthosechallengeswerestark.Afternearlyfouryearsofeconomiccrisisamongmany

IEA members, the IEA itself had avoided the worst of budget constraints thanks to stimulus

MethodsformaximizingtheimpactofourworkandclarifyingtheIEAroleandinternationalposition

were reformed with a new Communications Strategy and strategic oversight by a Strategic

CommunicationsCommittee.Asa result,publicationsandcommunicationswere streamlined,and

regular communications impact assessments were conducted influencing how our substantive

work and external outreachwere carried out. This helped to better achieve our strategic goals

withinexistingbudgetconstraints.

But2012challengeswerenotonlyontheresourcessidedemand for IEAexpertisewasalsoup.

Energy issues were riding high on the global agenda following major events in 2011 like the

FukushimaDaiichi nuclear accident and the Arab Spring. A political cycle in several IEAmember

countries also brought forward significant debates about unconventional oil and gas, economic

development and clean energy. The climate change challenge, which had languished during

the economic crisis in terms of political priority,was highlighted in 2012 by a series of extreme

weatherevents.

Theglobal relevanceof such issueshadalreadymadeexternalengagementakey IEApriority,as

evidencedat theOctober2011 IEAMinisterialMeeting.Ourexternalengagement, from fostering

analytical cooperation topoliticalconsultationat thehighest levelsofgovernment, isconsidered

imperativenotonlybecausegrowthinenergydemandisbeingdrivenbynonIEAmembers.Itisalso

EnergySecurity(andMarkets)

The IEAwas founded in1974withaprincipalmission to improve theoil securityof itsmembers.

Since then ourmission haswidened, as has the definition of energy security to other fuels and

concepts.But

energy

security

still

remains

amain

of

the

Agency,

including

market

of

various fuels andmanagement of emergency policy (including the coordination of responses to

supplydisruptions),andalsoadapting to the changingnatureofenergy security.Thebulkof this

period, the monthly Oil Market Report

(OMR)will celebrate its30th

anniversary

in 2013. Since its launch, the OMR has

expanded the breadth and depth of its

coverage, and has added a number of

new sections, including themost recent

section on oil price formation. Each

release of a new report invariably

generates

a

flurry

of

newswire

headlines

and occasionally moves markets. OMR

a framework for assessing electricity

with the IEA Gas, Coal and Power

Division (GCP) to enable ERR to further

extend to electricity security for the

201318 cycle. RED also significantly

increased its work with partner

countries, in particular China and Brazil.

of a new exercise in June for experienced SEQ

This

and

TechnologyDirectorate(SPT).

Energy efficiency was a major topic

worldwide in 2012 and was the

highlighted fuel of the World Energy

Outlook. The IEA Energy Efficiency Unit

(EEU) published two new editions in the

Policy Pathway series and three

publications on finance that show that

governments do not have to shoulder

investment costs of energy efficiency

alone,butcangain leverage fromawide

range of public and privatesector

instruments. The beginning of a major

A new ETP website (www.iea.org/etp) was

launchedtogetherwiththepublication,whereall

for download. A new data visualisation tool

An external impact assessment concluded that

readersfoundETP2012tobearelevant,useful

and thoughtprovoking insight into the world's

cleanenergytransformationchallenge.However,

some concerns were raised with ETPs scope

being too broad for policy makers who might

want more focused messages, and with the

need to demonstrate how ETP conclusions can

be realised. As a result of this assessment, the

ETP publication will be revamped for its next

edition.

In 2012, the IEA created a new

InternationalPartnershipsand Initiatives

(IPI)

unit,

which

seeks

to

strengthen

the

visibility and policy relevance of the

IEA technology network, especially via

the International LowCarbon Energy

TechnologyPlatform(TechnologyPlatform)

and the Implementing Agreements.

Throughout2012,theTechnologyPlatform

implemented a series of projects to

disseminate the Agencys expertise in

lowcarbonenergytechnologies,becoming

anessential tool for IEAengagement. In

additionto16international,regionaland

nationallevel workshops on lowcarbon

energy technologies, the Platform

initiatedthedevelopmentofHow2Guides

toprovideguidanceonthedevelopment

of nationallevel energy technology roadmaps. Key impacts of its activities last year included

strengthened interaction with Russia on roadmapping lowcarbon technologies; successful

partneringwith theADBon thedevelopmentof How2Guides forbothWindEnergy and Smart

Grids;andadvancingregionaldialogueonrenewableenergy intheMediterranean. Importantly, in

December,theGoverningBoard(GB)endorsedthecontinuationoftheTechPlatformforafurther

LegalandSupportWork

In terms of internal institutional support, the IEA Office of the Legal Counsel (OLC) served its

traditional role in2012during fourGBmeetingsprovidingorganisationand secretariat services

including the oversight of an election process for a vicechair. It also advanced the projects to

improve the IEAwebsite termsandconditions,and securityguidelines, taking intoaccountglobal

bestpractice.

With

regard

to

office

space,

it

assisted

in

the

management

of

the

IEA

lease,

including

supportingBLDonleaserelatedissuesanddialoguewiththeIEAlandlord.

OLC also supports the institution in external relations. It is facilitating Estonias accession by

overseeingthelegalaspectsofthatprocess,andin2012providedlegalanddraftingsupporttothe

implementationofMemorandaofUnderstanding(MOUs)andLettersofIntent.Thoseincludedthe

LOIwith IRENAandMOUswiththeUNFCCC,WorldBusinessCouncil forSustainableDevelopment

(WBCSD),andtheRussianEnergyForecastingAgency/FederalGridCompany.

OLC also supports IEA revenue generation and financial agreements. A principal responsibility is

providing legalsupport inrelationtothenegotiationandapprovalofVC/grantagreements. Italso

provides

such

support

(including

drafting

and

negotiating

contracts)

in

relation

to

joint

and

multi

party collaborative projects,which in 2012 included theGlobal Electric Vehicle Insight Exchange

(EVX)casebookandjointdatabase,NordicETP,IEA/IRENAjointdatabase,RailwaysHandbookwith

UIC, and collaborationwith the Russian Biotechnology Society on theHow2Guidefor Bioenergy.

With regard to IEA internal management, OLC drafted and negotiated procurement contracts,

includingassisting ISDandBLD to implementnewcontractswithprintingmachineand telephony

suppliersatbetterrates.

Finally,OLCworkstosupporttheIEArevenuestreamfrompublications.In2012,itdesignedaGlobal

Corporate Licence for IEA Energy Data and IEA publications, like WEO and ETP, which enables

greater use of IEA products by multinational customers, enhancing their impact and increasing

revenuegeneration.

In

the

same

vein,

it

assisted

with

aspects

necessary

to
