Energy transition

Energy transition refers to the ongoing, large-scale shift in how energy is produced and consumed, most often used today to describe the move away from fossil fuels toward lower-carbon sources like renewables, alongside broader electrification of end uses. No single crisp government definition of this exact phrase exists; it's generally described operationally, as an iterative, multi-decade process with many possible pathways, rather than defined in one sentence.
