2021 Situation - Not OPEN

Recorded on 26 oct 2021 in Tango.

UPDATE: in march 2022 IEA announced it would start looking at making data freely available

We task the Governing Board to organize an independent review of the IEA budget, standing groups, and committees to inform the 2025-2026 Programme of Work and Budget. We also ask for a review of options that will allow more IEA data to be made freely available while offsetting any budgetary implications.

Aside: apparently they made a 1/5 of their budget (5.7m) a year from selling data [source]:

In 2018, the IEA made around €5.6m from selling its data and analysis, according to estimates from Our World in Data, one of the main campaigners for more free data. That equates to more than a fifth of the organisation’s budget. One option to cover the lost revenue would be to ask member states to contribute more financial support, suggested director Birol in earlier comments on the issue.
