The energy transition is a shared goal, but the path each country takes must be unique. Every region has its own mix of climate, economy, infrastructure, and energy needs. These differences are not simply context, they are the building blocks for creating real solutions.
For example, there are countries which benefit from abundant sun and wind, making renewables a logical focus. By contrast, industrial economies with high energy consumption might need a balanced combination of renewables, efficiency upgrades, and storage systems. Islands or remote regions often prioritise energy security and local resilience through microgrids and battery systems.
Because of this variety, the transition must start with a clear understanding of local conditions: what resources are naturally available? What infrastructure is already in place and can be upgraded? What energy demands do industries and communities have?
Tackling these questions ensures that plans do not become empty slogans. When strategies overlook local details - like grid capacity, regulatory frameworks, or workforce skills - they risk slowing down the process, or even failing. A practical transition must be incremental: testing a technology here, upgrading an asset there, and scaling solutions that deliver real impact.
