Energy Self-Sufficiency

Energy self-sufficiency refers to a country, region, or community producing enough energy—such as electricity, heat, or fuel—to meet its own needs without relying on imports from outside sources. This can be achieved through domestic resources like wind, solar, hydro, or fossil fuels. Being energy self-sufficient enhances a region’s energy security, reduces vulnerability to price fluctuations or supply disruptions, and can promote sustainability if renewable sources are prioritized. In essence, it means having the capacity to generate and manage your own energy supply independently.
