The 2015 ministerial meeting of the International Energy Agency's (IEA) member states embraced a new strategic vision to turn the IEA into the global clean energy technology hub. Importantly,this new vision is coupled with maintaining and reinforcing the core IEA mission on energy security. There is no field where clean energy and energy security interact more powerfully than electricity regulation and market design. The most powerful image of an energy security problem is a major city in darkness. An interconnected economy with its telecommunications and machine tools is as reliant on the high-quality supply of electricity as its consumers' welfare is on lighting and electric appliances.
