Paula Kivimaa, Co-Chair of the EASAC* Working Group on the Security of Sustainable Energy Supplies, and Neven Duić, Co-Chair of the EASAC Energy Programme, maintain that the deeper vulnerability lies in how energy systems are planned and operated. A more integrated approach would improve security, reduce costs and accelerate the transition to net zero.
