Security Means Reliable Access

HL only

Energy security means affordable, reliable access over time, not simply domestic supply.

Diversification, efficiency, resilient infrastructure and fair access reduce exposure to import or price shocks.

Several local sources and efficient buildings can withstand a disruption better than one vulnerable domestic plant.

What evidence shows security? continuity, affordability and resilience under stress.

Domestic does not automatically mean reliable or affordable.
