Energy risk and security have become topical matters in Western and
international policy discussions; ranging from international
climate change mitigation to investment in energy infrastructures
to support economic growth and more sustainable energy provisions.
As such, ensuring the resilience of more sustainable energy
infrastructures against disruptions has become a growing concern
for high-level policy makers. Drawing on interviews, participant
observation, policy analysis, and survey research, this book
unpacks the work of the authorities, electricity companies, and lay
persons that keeps energy systems from failing and helps them to
recover from disruptions if they occur. The book explores a number
of important issues: the historical security policy of energy
infrastructures; control rooms where electricity is traded and
maintained in real time; and electricity consumers in their homes.
Presenting case studies from Finland and Scandinavia, with
comparisons to the United States, the United Kingdom, and the
European Union at large, Making Electricity Resilient offers a
detailed and innovative analysis of long-term priorities and
short-term dynamics in energy risk and resilience. This book will
be of great interest to students and scholars of energy policy and
security, and science and technology studies.
