Domestic energy reforms can be challenging. Every aspect of an economy, both public and private, depends on energy use, so the list of conflicting interests is daunting to any country attempting change. Still, an efficient “energy architecture” is critical to a nation’s well-being. The World Economic Forum offers a global analysis of which countries are doing well and which are not, as well as how they could all improve. getAbstract considers this 2015 ranking and its informative case studies valuable in shedding light on how security, sustainability and economic development intermix in national energy architectures.

Take-Aways

  • A robust “energy architecture” – the compendium of a nation’s energy efficiency and cost structure , its environmental sustainability, and its access to secure and dependable energy sources – can deliver viable economic growth.
  • A 2015 index ranking 125 countries’ energy systems reveals that no single route to success prevails. Top-rated Switzerland benefits from a diversification of sources and suppliers and from low “energy intensity” in its economy.
  • Second-ranked Norway has fossil fuel riches to ensure its energy access and security, while third-place France gains from a reliance on low-carbon nuclear energy.
