Description: Climate change poses escalating risks to power systems worldwide, threatening critical infrastructure and the secure, continuous supply of electricity. Both extreme weather events and long-term stressors such as rising temperatures demand proactive action to address vulnerabilities in power infrastructure. Integrating climate resilience into the planning, design, and operation of power assets is essential to ensure stable and sustainable power systems for the future – especially as electrification increases across all sectors.
IRENA’s report Enhancing Resilience: Climate-proofing Power Infrastructure underscores the urgent need to strengthen power system resilience to climate impacts and extreme weather. Drawing on global case studies, it provides guidance for policymakers, regulators, and utilities to embed climate considerations into power system planning, investment, and broader energy transition strategies.
