WORLD ENERGY COVID-19 SCENARIOS

The COVID-19 crisis had, and is, having significant and uneven impacts across all societies and economic sectors. The global energy sector is one of the most severely affected. Emerging from crisis and managing global energy transition are not going to be easy.

To assist our global energy community, the World Energy Council has developed four plausible scenarios to 2024 – Pause, Rewind, Fast-Forward and Re-Record –  that can be used to stress and design recovery strategies. Each scenario explores three critical uncertainties – ambition, trust and ability to control the virus – and how these combine to shift the pace and direction of global energy transition.
