Working on a paper with the RAISE Romanian American Institute for Smart Energy experts, I realized today marks the 781st day of the war in Ukraine. I never thought this war would last so long, with so many losses and dramatic changes in the global energy landscape and beyond. Despite the formidable challenges presented by Russia’s invasion, the energy sector has demonstrated remarkable resilience. The conflict sparked the first truly global energy crisis in February 2022, yet we've witnessed a gradual easing of energy prices from their record highs over the past two years. However, the challenges persist, with price fluctuations impacting economies worldwide and impeding progress towards universal electricity access. Amidst this uncertainty, governments worldwide prioritize energy security, leading to a shift in oil and natural gas trade patterns. Additionally, there's been a surge in cleaner energy alternatives driven by policies introduced after February 2022. The expansion of renewable power generation capacity and the popularity of clean technologies like electric vehicles are testaments to our commitment to a sustainable future. We remain vigilant and proactive in building a more resilient, sustainable, and equitable energy future in these turbulent times. Together, we can drive positive change and shape a world where energy is a force for good.

#throwback to attending Vietnam's State of Energy Transition conference. Organized under the Future of Electricity in Vietnam (FE-V) program, launched in 2022 by the Australian Government, in collaboration with the Vietnamese Communist Party’s Central Economic Commission (CEC) and key energy agencies. Exciting to witness the deepening ties between the two nations. #energytransition #Vietnam #Australia

How India is spearheading grid connectivity and energy cooperation initiatives in south Asia

Russia’s isolation from the West following its invasion of Ukraine has given new impetus to the country’s already close cooperation with the Central Asian countries of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. Russia is using energy to enhance its influence in Central Asia and achieved notable successes in 2023, including building generating capacities, increasing electricity and hydrocarbon supplies to the region, and developing its transit potential to China https://lnkd.in/dJAYa-rq
