As the 62nd Munich Security Conference (February 13-15, 2026) gets underway in Germany, Sam Kimmins, Climate Group's Director of Energy, comments:
“In 2026, any serious discussion of energy security must start with renewables. Smart grids powered by clean energy — supported by storage and efficiency — are now the most resilient, strategic infrastructure countries can invest in. The alternative is remaining exposed to volatile fossil fuel markets and unreliable petrostates. For leading businesses, energy security and industrial competitiveness go hand in hand — and the solution to both is renewables.”
