World Energy Trilemma 2016

Defining Measures to Accelerate the Energy Transition

The triple challenge of providing secure, affordable and sustainable energy systems — the so-called Energy Trilemma — has never been more complex.

The energy sector is racing to meet global energy demand while also addressing evolving public and government expectations. At the same time, to meet changing climate and energy goals, governments are striving to support engagement, coordination and innovation within the energy industry and across the economy to drive the necessary changes in energy supply and demand.

The 2016 annual report, World Energy Trilemma: Defining Measures to Accelerate the Energy Transition and Trilemma Index, prepared by Oliver Wyman, Marsh & McLennan’s Global Risk Center, and the World Energy Council, highlights how governments and businesses are translating the energy trilemma goals into tangible action.

Presented to global energy ministers and energy leaders at the seventh Clean Energy Ministerial, June 1-2, 2016, the report identifies five focus areas to drive progress on the Energy Trilemma.

The Trilemma Index was released at the World Energy Congress in Istanbul on 12 October 2016. View the interactive tool here.
