6.4C - Energy Players. Energy players (P: role of TNCs, The Organisation of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), consumers, governments) have different roles in securing pathways and energy supplies. An energy pathway is the route taken by any form of energy from its source to its point of consumption. The routes involve different forms of
READ MOREEnergy Security in Geography - Key takeaways. Energy security is achieved when uninterrupted and affordable energy is available on a national level. Energy dependency is the measure to calculate the proportion of energy consumption that is dependent on imported energy. There are four aspects that are important to energy security:
READ MOREEnsuring energy security has been at the centre of the IEA''s mission since its creation in 1974, following the oil crisis in 1973. Today, the global oil market remains vulnerable to a wide range of risk factors, including natural disasters, major technical accidents, and geo-political tensions.
