Article Content
Browse articles 
- •Electricity demand is rising faster than supply, posing national security risks.
- •The Strait of Hormuz crisis has exposed vulnerabilities in global energy supply chains.
- •Transitioning to renewable energy introduces new challenges for electricity grid stability.
The global energy landscape is facing a crisis as demand for electricity outpaces supply, making it a national security issue. The recent Strait of Hormuz crisis highlighted vulnerabilities in the hydrocarbon system, with 25% of global oil supplies at risk. The transition to renewable energy introduces new challenges, as electricity demand is projected to grow by over 3.5% annually by 2030. The fragility of global supply chains for critical materials poses additional risks to power grids. Disruptions in the value chain can lead to significant economic shocks. As electricity becomes central to the economy, ensuring the robustness of power grids is crucial.
