ElectroState Energy Security

The focus of this live quarterly intelligence service is on how countries can accelerate an ‘Electrostate’ transition, whilst maintaining – and, ideally, growing – the security and resilience of their energy supply. This is particularly pertinent for countries that are currently fossil-fuel importers and price-takers, but equally important for those who do not want to be left behind and miss out on the considerable economic benefits of the electric energy revolution.

This unbiased, fully independent service is intended to provide busy executives with a valuable quarterly 2-hour briefing that gives them vital insight into market opportunities that are outside the bubble and the culture of their organisations.

How should European, African and Asian organisations and countries proceed and develop their energy systems and navigate the pathway between the Electrostate goal of China and Petrostate power of the US, Gulf States and other major fossil fuel exporters.  

Every quarter, subscribers will have exclusive access to a live 2 hour presentation and interactive Q&A session led by a highly experienced energy expert. The event recording will be available for subscribers.

In addition, every other month* subscribers will receive an exclusive video presentation and report designed for the time-poor, impact-hungry energy executive that needs to gain a competitive advantage and understand the impact.(*ie in the months when there is not a quarterly live presentation).

The content is commercial, not academic or heavily technical, but intended to help busy executives understand the big picture, examine the cross-section of the impact of technology innovation, and evaluate the effectiveness of policy frameworks in encouraging investment. Stay up-to-date, interpret and learn from real case studies about real companies.  

Key Takeaways that Subscribers will benefit and learn from

• Can ‘clean’ energy be regarded as ‘secure’ energy?

• Does becoming an Electrostate simply shift energy reliance from OPEC & the US, to China?

• What resources are required to build an Electrostate, and which alternative sources of supply exist?

• Is it possible, practical or economic to build fully secure, domestic energy supply chains (and in which sectors)?

• What are the limits to scale, and how might ‘partial’ Electrostates develop?

• Which infrastructures are needed to address the resilience challenges of an electrified energy system built around primary renewable energy?

• What are the cost barriers (to consumers) of transitioning to an Electrostate?

• What are the material constraints to the pace of the ElectroState model?
