能源部门为日常生活提供燃料，特别是在经济和社会方面。在抗击COVID-19疫情的过程中，一个运作良好且具有弹性的能源行业对于维持关键基础设施（包括最重要的卫生部门）的运营和及时的经济复苏至关重要。尽管能源在日常生活和危机中具有重要意义，但能源部门本身目前正处于复杂而深远的转型中，以应对气候变化，同时支持向低碳经济和社会过渡，主要是通过开发风能和太阳能光伏等可变可再生能源。本文件强调，各国面临COVID-19健康危机、随之而来的经济危机和气候危机的三重挑战，因此需要提高能源弹性。以欧洲为重点，先进的是，通过平衡波动的发电和需求，灵活性使能源部门能够可靠地利用低碳可再生能源，确保更具弹性和可持续性的能源未来。本文件为欧洲提出了五项紧急政策建议，以应对COVID-19对能源系统灵活性的经济和社会先决条件可能产生的影响。
The energy sector provides fuel for much of everyday life, particularly economically and socially. Fighting against the COVID-19 pandemic, a well-functioning and resilient energy sector is vital for maintaining the operation of critical infrastructures, including, most importantly, the health sector, and timely economic recovery. Notwithstanding its importance in everyday life and crises, the energy sector itself is currently in a complex and far-reaching transformation to combat climate change whilst supporting the transition to a low-carbon economy and society, mainly through the development of variable renewable energy sources (RES) such as wind and solar photovoltaics. This paper highlights the need for energy resilience as countries face the triple challenge of the COVID-19 health crisis, the consequent economic crisis, and the climate crisis. Focusing on Europe, it is advanced here that with the ability to balance fluctuating electricity generation and demand, flexibility allows the energy sector to utilise low-carbon RES reliably, ensuring a more resilient and sustainable energy future. This paper derives five urgent policy recommendations for Europe that address possible impacts of COVID-19 on the economic and societal prerequisites for flexibility in energy systems.
