ElectroState Energy Security

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

The focus of this live quarterly intelligence service is particularly on countries that are not China and the extent to which they can replicate its ‘Electrostate’ transition, whilst maintaining – and, ideally, growing – the security and resilience of their energy supply. This is particularly pertinent for countries who are also fossil fuel importers and price-takers, so at risk from the whims of Petrostates.

A prime example is Europe (including the UK), which finds itself caught between the Electrostate goal of China and the newly-entrenched Petrostate power of the US; with both superpowers active in using energy-related exports to try to entrench their economic success (and for political leverage). All at the same time as having experienced the reality of energy supply insecurity from another Petrostate (Russia).

Every quarter, subscribers will have exclusive access to a live 1.5-hour presentation led by a highly experienced energy expert, followed by an interactive Q&A session.

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 not academic nor too technical but commercial, and the intelligence service energy expert leaders stay up-to-date and interpret and present real case studies about real companies.

Key Takeaways that Service 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?
