Arcerion has considerable sources of oil and natural gas in the Northern portions of the [[Albion Sea]] and is ranked as one of the largest net exporters of natural gas and crude oil in the 21st Century, and is in the top three in Crona. Arcerion is energy self-sufficient based on its reserves of crude oil, natural gas, and coal mined from the Aileach Mountain Range. With gas resources expected to decline in usage as well as available stock, the Confederate Parliament has sought to invest in renewable and long-term energy investments such as nuclear energy. | [[Arcerion]] has considerable sources of oil and natural gas in the Northern portions of the [[Albion Sea]] and is ranked as one of the largest net exporters of natural gas and crude oil in the 21st Century, and is in the top three in [[Crona]].

Arcerion has been traditionally dominated in the energy sector by coal-fired powerplants due to the abundance of coal in the Aileach Mountains. However it still remains as one of the main components for fueling the energy production centers for the Arcer Power Grid. Coal amounts to 52% of energy and electricity production in Arcerion, followed by nuclear at 24% and natural gas at 19%. Solar, wind and renewable/'green' energy sources make up the remaining % | Arcerion has been traditionally dominated in the energy sector by coal-fired powerplants due to the abundance of coal in the Aileach Mountains.

The Arcer government is expected by 2030 to publish a Memo on Energy Policy to better align with modern trends for green energy sources as a means for combatting climate change. While the Arcer government has not outright stated it will become independent of fossil fuels, it has stated that it intends to increase the amount of non-coal power plants by at least three by 2030, including the construction of a new pair of nuclear reactors in Easthampton and Presdale. | |||
Arcerion's power grid is connected via large hydro towers and transmission lines to several other Cronan countries. It is considered to have the best energy security in Crona as of 2020, and provided the vast majority of the electricity for [[Washakara]], the [[New Archduchy]], and [[Telokona]]. | |||
