The Energy Crisis Tracker panel (internal id energy-crisis) surfaces the IEA’s 2026 policy database: the full catalogue of government measures announced in response to Middle East conflict and Strait-of-Hormuz-driven energy supply disruptions. Per the Hormuz Trade Tracker’s context, ~20% of global oil transits the Strait daily, so policy-side response data is as important as the supply-side flow data.

​
What the panel shows

A filterable list of policy measures:
  • Category filter — all (default) plus conservation (“Energy Conservation”) and consumer_support (“Consumer Support”).
  • Sector labels applied per policy: transport, buildings, industry, electricity, agriculture, general.
  • Status classes colour-bucketed per policy: active (ecp-status-active), planned (ecp-status-planned), ended (ecp-status-ended).
  • Policy cards with country, sector, category, status, announcement date, and measure summary.
The panel is wide (defaultRowSpan: 2) and shows a count badge (showCount: true). Activity tracking is on (trackActivity: true) so newly added policies get the standard new-item visual treatment. Panel id is energy-crisis; canonical component is src/components/EnergyCrisisPanel.ts. Displayed title: “Energy Crisis Tracker”.

​
How you reach it

  • Cmd+K: type energy crisis or IEA.
  • Availability by variant: registered and enabled by default in the full/geopolitical variant only (priority: 2). Not present in the tech, finance, commodity, or happy variants. Source: 'energy-crisis' in FULL_PANELS of src/config/panels.ts.

​
Data sources

  • EconomicServiceClient.getEnergyCrisisPolicies() via the generated Economic service client.
  • Panel prefers the hydrated bootstrap payload first (getHydratedData()) and falls back to a fresh RPC call — the standard WorldMonitor “one bootstrap, no duplicate fetch” pattern.
Upstream source per the in-panel info tooltip: IEA 2026 Energy Crisis Policy Response Tracker. Tracks measures across ~60 countries with nearly 200 policy entries.

​
Refresh cadence

IEA publishes updates on a weekly-to-monthly cadence. The panel reads the cached snapshot on mount; no polling timer.

​
Tier & gating

Free. No premium flag in src/config/panels.ts. The Economic service RPC is public.
