Energy security - the issue of present time

Energy security is of prime concern in an energy starved world. This paper is an attempt to link issue of energy security with renewable energy. It aims to address the balance, showing how in electricity generation, heat supply, and transport renewable can enhance energy security and suggesting policies that can optimize this contribution. Attention has been focused disproportionately on the issue of the variability of renewable electricity production. In order to enhance the energy security of the country and establish a sustainable energy supply system, it is necessary to promote the policy of diversifying energy supply so as to include alternative or renewable resources and technologies into the nation´s energy supply mix.
