So as we wind down towards Christmas and begin to look out into 2023, I thought, what are my triggering points on the Energy Transition?

So I thought I'd turn these into a simple list of my twelve energy Christmas words or phrases that will drive my Energy Transition thinking in 2023

  1. The energy challenge
  2. Inclusive energy futures
  3. Innovation technology
  4. Complexity unravelling
  5. Unchecked consumption
  6. Stranded Assets
  7. Emergy Energy Platforms
  8. Energy backbone
  9. Climate change essential actions
  10. Clean energy innovator
  11. Pathways, landscapes and roadmaps
  12. Transition management

I made an Energy wish list for 2022, and all I can say is it was wildly optimistic, so this year, I'll stick with my simple Christmas triggers.

So what trigger words or energy phases will drive your Energy work or thinking in 2023?

Great list, would love to hear more about them!

If I had to add any to your dozen, I think I'd go with Interconnection Queue

Interconnected queue- means connecting up the assets or the supply of electricity?

I'm talking about how the growth of renewables is stymied by the long queue to get such projects connected to the grid and the idea that speeding that process up is the most impactful decarbonization policy pathway at the moment:

I love this list.  I would add the following:

1) IRA & IIJA - Affects on the industry in 2023

2) Cybersecurity 

3) Securing the grid

4) Aging Grid
