Economic growth in Cote D’ivoire has largely been associated with increased energy consumption. Over past few years, climate change has become one of the main concerns driving energy policy.

Since energy use is a major source of emissions, it is necessary to focus on the management of energy demand and supply as a means to abatement. Technological progress, energy efficiency programmes and structural changes contribute towards the variation in energy demand. Understanding the various components of energy demand is therefore important and necessary in order to deal with future emissions.

The ICCI-CI has been working proactively on key issues impacting the Energy sector through its various initiatives in the form of recommendation to the Ministry, publication of reports, creating various platforms (Summits) between government and industry body addressing important and relevant concerns.
