Energy Security and Resilience
Building a resilient energy future, together
Energy security and resilience are critical for the energy industry and society. Our energy system must be robust today and adaptable for the future. Addressing the energy trilemma means balancing sustainability, affordability and reliability. A reliable system that is resilient against external shocks external shocks, armed conflict, physical sabotage and cyber threats, and supports greater autonomy and long term stability and prosperity.
Balancing sustainability, affordability with reliability - ensuring the resilience of our energy system
Building resilience requires a holistic approach across infrastructure, markets and governance. Organisations should stress test assets, supply chains, invest in cyber and physical defences, and expand flexible resources like energy storage, demand response and decentralised generation. And policy makers must design market frameworks that reward reliability alongside low emissions and affordability.
Deloitte helps clients embed resilience across strategy and execution. We believe that cross sector collaboration improves situational awareness and emergency response, while targeted investment in domestic capacity reduces dependence on external sources. And by integrating risk management into strategy and capital allocation, the sector can enhance autonomy, protect consumers and ensure continuous service in times of crisis, preserving economic stability and safeguarding public welfare.

"As we pursue the energy transition we must balance sustainability, affordability and reliability — ensuring the resilience of our energy system. It is therefore vital that we avoid the pitfalls of dependence and discuss what it means for the Netherlands to enhance resilience by becoming more autonomous."
