What it Means to be Energy Resilient: Preparing for and Bouncing Back from Power Disruptions

What it Means to be Energy Resilient: Preparing for and Bouncing Back from Power Disruptions Energy resilience is the ability to anticipate, prepare for, and adapt to energy disruptions, as well as the capacity to rapidly recover from them. In an era of increasing extreme weather events, cybersecurity threats, and an aging electrical grid, the concept has become a critical priority for communities, businesses, and governments worldwide. It's about ensuring a reliable and continuous supply of energy to power our essential services and daily lives, even when the unexpected happens. While often used interchangeably, energy resilience is distinct from energy reliability. Reliability refers to the day-to-day consistency of the power supply under normal conditions—preventing routine outages. Resilience, on the other hand, is about withstanding and recovering from major, often unforeseen, events like hurricanes, wildfires, cyberattacks, or physical attacks on infrastructure.
