energy supply
Grid's constant flow
Energy supply is the provision of fuel, electricity, or other power sources to meet demand.
The term appears in discussions of infrastructure, policy, and resource management: The war disrupted Europe's energy supply.
It encompasses everything from oil and natural gas to renewable sources, and concerns about energy supply often drive economic and political decisions.
