IEA Ministerial: In the Age of Electricity, energy security depends on resilience and cooperation
…of renewables present for energy security. In many regions, renewables are among the most secure and cost-competitive sources of new electricity generation, reducing exposure to imported fuel volatility and strengthening domestic supply. When paired with modernised grids, storage and demand-side flexibility, renewables can enhance system resilience while accelerating transitions to energy systems with lower emissions. Many of the participants highlighted that expanding renewable deployment – supported by clear policy frameworks and modernised grids – can advance security, affordability and competitiveness in parallel.At the same time, the transformation of power systems is introducing new vulnerabilities. While electrification offers opportunities to…
