Las implicaciones de la pandemia para los sistemas energéticos y las transiciones a energías limpias aún están evolucionando, pero destacan tres áreas en particular
The coronavirus (Covid-19) has created the biggest global crisis in generations, sending shock waves through health systems, economies, and societies around the world. Faced with an unprecedented situation, governments are focused on bringing the disease under control and reviving their economies.
The energy sector is also severely affected by this crisis, which has slowed transport, trade and economic activity across the globe. Our latest analysis of daily data through mid-April, published in our Global Energy Review 2020, shows that countries in full lockdown are experiencing an average 25% decline in energy demand per week and countries in partial lockdown an average 18% decline.
The implications of the pandemic for energy systems and clean energy transitions are still evolving but three areas in particular stand out:
- Energy security remains a cornerstone of our economies especially during turbulent times;
- Electricity security and resilient energy systems are more indispensable than ever for modern societies;
- Clean energy transitions must be at the center of economic recovery and stimulus plans.
In all these areas, the IEA is focused on bringing data, analysis and real-world solutions to help governments navigate these challenges and build secure and sustainable energy systems.
