Definition
Energy Crisis is any systemic event where the supply of energy resources to an economy is severely restricted in relation to prior levels and/or expectations. The result may include significant reduction of economic activity but may also have broader social and welfare implications.
A crisis may relate to one or more energy sources used at a certain time and place, most typically:
- Electricity via the Grid
- Fossil Fuels
Causes
Energy crises may result from:
- Localized shortage due to Energy System deficiencies or volatile supply versus demand
- Geopolitical Risk (wars, boycots etc.)
- Market Manipulation
