Foreword
The International Energy Agency (IEA) has conducted in-depth peer reviews of its member countries’ energy policies since 1976. This process not only supports energy policy development, but also encourages the exchange of and learning from international best practices and experiences. In short, by seeing what has worked – or not – in the “real world”, these reviews help to identify policies that achieve objectives and bring concrete results. Recently, the IEA has moved to modernise the reviews by focusing on some of the key energy challenges in today’s rapidly changing energy markets.
The shale revolution continues to be a driving force for United States (US) energy policy, shifting gears from a mindset of energy scarcity to one of energy abundance. Innovations in oil and gas extraction through horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing have made oil and gas production a mainstay of the US energy landscape and, indeed, the world. The timely siting of supporting infrastructure will be essential to ensuring continued gains from the shale boom. Notably, the shale revolution is expected to turn the United States from a net energy importer to a net exporter by 2020.
As with most IEA countries, energy security remains a priority issue for the United States, as the government steps up efforts to respond to new threats such as cyberattacks. Internationally, US energy exports are already playing an important role in diversifying global energy supplies.
US government policy is centred on the concept of “energy dominance”, which reflects a strategy to maximise energy production, expand exports and be a leader in energy technologies. Environmental deregulation is a central focus, though it may have implications for the emissions trajectory.
I am pleased to observe that the United States has already achieved impressive emissions reductions over the past decade. A sizeable driver of this has been the switch away from coal-fired generation in the electricity sector towards low-cost shale gas and renewables, aided by falling costs and policy support. While these trends are expected to continue, the closure of additional coal and nuclear generation capacity also warrants monitoring. Policy and regulatory responses will likely be needed to ensure a smooth transition in the electricity sector that accommodates the growth in variable renewables while also ensuring reliability and resilience of the overall power system.
It is my hope that this report will help support the United States as it manages the transition of its energy sector to ensure a clean, safe and affordable energy system.
