Resilience of power grids in the face of climate change: an urgent challenge for engineering

Year: 2026

Type: editorial

Abstract: This editorial reflects on the systemic vulnerability of power grids to extreme weather events during 2025, specifically citing European heatwaves and blackouts in Chile. It advocates for a holistic engineering approach to resilience, defined as the capacity to anticipate, adapt, and restore operations under climate stress. Looking ahead, it highlights the role of artificial intelligence and advanced modeling in managing the complexities of renewable energy integration. Reaffirming the journal’s commitment, it calls for research that aligns technological innovation with societal well-being and inclusion.
