Energy in Kiravia



Kiravia is the largest energy consumer in Ixnay and the leading energy importer. Although Kiravia is decently endowed with conventional energy resources, the vast energy demand generated by its large population, advanced economy, and cool climate greatly outstrip domestic supply. Maintaining a reliable energy supply and reasonable prices is a perennial policy concern at the federal level, and a great deal of public expenditure has been dedicated to energy subsidies, energy research, the development of domestic energy sources, and the upkeep of good trade relations with major energy-exporting countries, such as Cartadania and Arcerion.

Kiravia is a world leader in nuclear research (both civilian and military) and has invested extensively in the development of to meet its staggering energy needs.

Major fossil fuel suppliers to the Kiravian market include Cartadania and other nations. The most plentiful domestic reserves of oil and gas are located in the Pelian Ocean, offshore from the Sydona Islands and Saxalin Islands, followed by the Albion Sea off of Atrassica and onshore oil shales in Devahoma and the Northwest Territory.

is plentiful across many parts of Great Kirav, particularly the upper and upper-middle latitudes, where it is commonly used as a household fuel source, especially in rural areas. Kiravians traditionally harvested peat from nearby bogs themselves or purchased cut peat bricks or briquettes to be delivered to their homes, practices which continue today. There are also dozens of peat-fired power plants in Kiravia that feed into modern electrical power grids.
