The Impact of Geopolitical Tensions on Energy Infrastructure
Ongoing geopolitical tensions, particularly in Ukraine, have led to significant attacks on energy infrastructure, including the deliberate targeting of power plants by Russian forces. These attacks have ramped up to include solar and wind installations, causing severe challenges for energy reliability in the region. Ukraine's current energy crisis is exacerbated by limited air defense capabilities, making it difficult for repair teams to restore power generation after repeated strikes.
