'''Energy in Cartadania''' refers to {{wp|energy development|energy}} and {{wp|electricity generation|electricity production}}, consumption, import and export in the country. The nation's energy composition draws from a quintet of key pillars: {{wp|nuclear power}}, {{wp|natural gas}}, {{wp|fossil fuel power station|liquid fuels}}, {{wp|coal}}, and {{wp|renewable energy|renewables}}. In 2030, natural gas made up the largest portion of electricity generation, at around 40%, while nuclear power accounted for 27% and renewables accounted for 30% of energy consumption. | '''Energy in Cartadania''' refers to {{wp|energy development|energy}} and {{wp|electricity generation|electricity production}}, consumption, import and export in the country.

The Western Interconnection encompasses the former territory of [[Vachena]], except for the inclusion of Miraflores on the grid which was a portion of Cartadania's former Southern Territory division. It serves around 100 million Cartadanians and generates approximately 1,246 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity annually. The Central Interconnection, subdivided into the Lusia and Font {{wp|Wide Area Synchronous Grid|wide area synchronous grids}}, is coterminous with pre-annexation Cartadania, covering a population of 211.6 million and generating a combined total 1,882.7 TWh. In parallel, the Eastern Interconnection, subdivided into the Valerian and Mandera wide area synchronous grids, spans the territory of the six states of Cartadania, the five provinces of Caphiria, and the Kingdom of Lariana that are all located on the island of [[Urlazio]], effectively supplying 1,183.9 TWh of power to 155.4 million residents. Cartadania's insular outlying areas, that is, all territories and the states of [[Lotoa]], [[Porta Bianca]], and [[Solemia]], independently generate their own energy within self-contained microgrids. Its portion of the metropolitan electrical grid in northern [[Sarpedon]] had a {{wp|nameplate capacity}} of 640 GW and produced 3,771 TWh in 2030. Cartadania itself is the second-largest producer and consumer of electricity in Sarpedon, behind Caphiria. | ||
Cartadania has garnered acclaim for its | Cartadania's energy ethos has had strong elements of environmental sensitivity since at least the 1980s, as evidenced by its decreasing reliance on non-renewable sources. Prior to 2033, a very small fraction of its energy reservoir, about 4%, derived from conventional {{wp|Anthracite|coal}} and {{wp|Heavy fuel oil|petroleum}} resources. In early 2033, as the country entered its "fall" season, the last of the {{wp|Coal-fired power station|coal}}- and {{wp|Fossil fuel power station#Oil|petroleum}}-fired plants were decommissioned, reinforcing its status as an environmentally conscious energy powerhouse. It has garnered acclaim for its journey towards energy independence, especially in the wake of the post-war period, and although its unprecedented commitment to environmental sustainability has sometime come into question over budgetary concerns and growing pains, the overall impact has shown in air quality and other emissions-related metrics. It's strategic focus on diversifying its energy portfolio and harnessing sources with minimal carbon emissions has propelled it to a position of exemplary leadership in the realm of global energy transitions, exceeding planned goals year over year. The nation's investments in renewable energy infrastructure have led to the creation of new jobs, technological innovation, and a resilient energy sector that is well-equipped to navigate the challenges of a rapidly evolving global energy landscape, especially with regard to managing the global climate. | ||
