 Four large-scale upheavals in global energy set the scene for the new Outlook:

➢ The is turning into the undisputed global leader for oil & gas

➢ Solar PV is on track to be the cheapest source of new electricity in many countries

➢ China’s new drive to “make the skies blue again” is recasting its role in energy

➢ The future is electrifying, spurred by cooling, electric vehicles & digitalisation

 These changes brighten the prospects for affordable, sustainable energy & require a reappraisal of approaches to energy security

 There are many possible pathways ahead & many potential pitfalls if governments or industry misread the signs of change

Old ways of understanding the world of energy are losing value as countries change roles: the Middle East is fast becoming a major energy consumer & the United States a major exporter

China, India & the US lead the charge for solar PV, while Europe is a frontrunner for onshore & offshore wind: rising shares of solar & wind require more flexibility to match power demand & supply

The US is already switching to become a net exporter of gas & becomes a net exporter of oil in the 2020s, helped also by the demand-side impact of fuel efficiency & fuel switching

Growing gas import requirements in developing Asia, Japan and Korea are largely met by LNG, with exports from the US accelerating a shift towards a more flexible, liquid global market

Only 15% additional investment is required to 2040 to achieve the Sustainable Development Scenario, with two-thirds of investment going to electricity generation & networks

© OECD/IEA 2017 Conclusions

 The oil & gas boom in the United States is shaking up the established order, with major implications for markets, trade flows, investment & energy security

 The versatility of natural gas means that it is well placed to grow, but it cannot afford price spikes or uncertainty over methane leaks

 China continues to shape global trends, but in new ways as its “energy revolution” drives cost reductions for a wide range of clean energy technologies

 Our strategy for sustainable energy shows that concerted action to address climate change is fully compatible with global goals on universal access & air quality

 Electrification & digitalisation are the future for many parts of the global energy system, creating new opportunities but also risks that policy makers have to address
