Embracing a multi-source energy revolution

In parallel with the accelerating shift toward resilient energy economies, the importance of exploring different energy sources continues to rise. Increasingly, it becomes clear that all energy sources will be needed as no single solution will be able to address all challenges.

Nuclear has emerged as a promising low-carbon source of energy. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), nuclear energy is set to reach a new record in 2025 and can improve energy security as electricity demand accelerates. The momentum in nuclear energy is growing, fuelled by new policies, pioneering projects, strategic investments, and technological innovations like Small Modular Reactors (SMRs).

However, challenges remain when addressing timelines for project deliveries and financing. Other energy sources, such as wind and solar, are also emerging, contributing to a growing need to increase the capacity for storing intermittent energy.

Embracing a wide range of energy sources and assessing every integration strategy can open greater opportunities for companies and governments, lessen dependence on a single energy source, and access new markets.
