o Does not refer simply to a continuing supply of
energy, but includes production and use of energy
resources in ways that are compatible with long-
term human well being and ecological balance

sustainability
o Availability of modern energy in adequate
quantity and acceptable quality on a long-
term basis
o Acceptability of energy sector activities in
terms of their environmental and social
impacts
Major challenges

and competition have to be eliminated
Necessary physical structure

(avoid excessive dependence on imports)
o Regional & International Cooperation

o Domestic R&D capability
o Markets must sustain energy security
o Long-term nature of energy systems requires long
-term energy planning; 25 years to 50 years
o Forecasting techniques – GDP, population
