The Ministry of the Interior also uses the Department of Energy to manage the national power grid and power infrastructure, including the Arcer Petroleum Reserve. | The Ministry of the Interior also uses the Department of Energy to manage the national power grid and power infrastructure, including the Arcer Petroleum Reserve. | ||

Transmission and dispersion of energy and electricity in Arcerion happens in a multitude of ways. For the coal-fired plants in the Cronan nation, mines in Easthampton transport their goods via the Arco National Railway Service across the country and for exports. In the case of domestic power plants, this is then turned into electricity and transported across electric power lines which are usually found along major roadways and pieces of national infrastructure (ie. rail lines) to limit the effect large power pylons have on the environment. | Transmission and dispersion of energy and electricity in Arcerion happens in a multitude of ways.

There is an effort between Norham and Foxhey Governorates to extend an undersea power cable from the Dunborough Nuclear Power Plant (DNPP) to Foxhey, to help lessen their reliance on coal and fossil fuels. | There is an effort between Norham and Foxhey Governorates to extend an undersea power cable from the Dunborough Nuclear Power Plant (DNPP) to Foxhey, to help lessen their reliance on coal and fossil fuels. | ||
In Howland Governorate Port Northford is the largest North Cronan seaport in terms of shipping volume. It exports a vast amount of liquid national gas and crude oil taken from the Albion Sea Gas Fields, some of which is refined on Howland Governorate's islands. This makes the Albion Sea key terrain for the government of Arcerion. Port Northford is also one of the five largest maritime gas and oil export facilities in Ixnay. | In Howland Governorate Port Northford is the largest North Cronan seaport in terms of shipping volume.

Washakara receives 64% of its national power supply from Arcerion, the remainder being provided either domestically or from Paulastra. This makes energy supply and import not only a major national issue in domestic Washakaran politics, but also a key geopolitical point for Arco-Washan relations. The Energy Agreement of 2004 between Arcerion and the Indigenous nation solidifies price increases at scheduled rates and tariff controls to ensure a fair market for Washakaran local energy production, but also to allow Arcer companies to bring their services and energy into the Southwestern Cronan market. | Washakara receives 64% of its national power supply from Arcerion, the remainder being provided either domestically or from Paulastra.

Telekona is an impoverished Indigenous nation on Arcerion's Northwestern border. Due to its proximity to the Dunborough Nuclear Power Plant (DNPP), it receives two-thirds of its national energy from Arcerion. However, during the ongoing border security crisis in Norham and Northlea Governorates, Arcerion has made it clear that if Telekona allows continued attacks on key civilian and national infrastructure such as power lines, electronic substations, and transformers, then Arcerion will shut Telekona out of the Arcer national energy market. This has been a successful negotiation tool for mitigating the ongoing flow of refugees through Telekona's porous Southern border, forcing greater cooperation with Arcerion's Ministry of the Interior and [[Royal Arcerion Constabulary]]. | Telekona is an impoverished Indigenous nation on Arcerion's Northwestern border.

The New Archduchy receives approximately 40% of its electricity from Arcerion, and with the planned Northumbraeland Mountain Hydroelectric Dam being constructed, this will increase that figure. However the New Archduchy has a structured political agreement with Arcerion wherein they will be a majority stakeholder through independent foreign investment in the Dam, allowing them controlling shares in the corporation that manages and sells the power. The New Archudchy also expressed interest in establishing additional power lines to their sovereign territory with the completion of the Northlea Nuclear Power Plant, and increases in the influx of Liquid National Gas imports. | The New Archduchy receives approximately 40% of its electricity from Arcerion, and with the planned Northumbraeland Mountain Hydroelectric Dam being constructed, this will increase that figure.

Municipal and Governorate regulations of power plants and energy in Arcerion are independent from the federal government, but often coincide. Individual departments or bureaus of energy have their own sets of laws and standards that must be adhered to, notably in Moorden for mining safety and Howland for drilling protections and ecological disaster mitigation policy. | Municipal and Governorate regulations of power plants and energy in Arcerion are independent from the federal government, but often coincide.
