Policy plays a vital role in accelerating the application of research outcomes. ENTEC not only promotes research and innovation that drive the development and industrial deployment of energy technologies but also supports initiatives that assist policymakers in shaping effective energy policy.
In addition, ENTEC has expanded its focus to include energy resilience, with the goal of ensuring the sustainable use of innovative energy systems in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Research efforts in energy resilience[1] have centered on assessing the resilience of critical infrastructure of various renewable energy systems, contributing to both their recoverability and adaptability. This work advances traditional risk assessment methods by introducing the concept of energy resilience assessment, which accounts for change of risks over time and emphasizes stakeholder engagement. The application of energy resilience assessment was demonstrated to show practicality through a case study in the Asia-Pacific region[2].
One key outcome of the effort is the ASEAN Energy Resilience Assessment Guideline, developed by ENTEC and officially endorsed by ASEAN. Together with the academic publication Energy, Sustainability and Resilience[3], the Guideline provides a unified framework for enhancing system resilience and supports the long-term development of infrastructure and society.
Research and development in energy policy and resilience serve as a bridge, facilitating the effective application of research findings from ENTEC’s five other strategic pillars.
