Abstract

In the last few years, academics and practitioners have provided different def­initions of the multifaceted concept of energy security. For the purposes of this chapter, it will be seen — from a consumer’s perspective — as the guarantee of a reliable flow of energy, at affordable prices, plentiful in comparison to national needs, and sustainable in the mid-to-long term, also from an envi­ronmental point of view.1 In this perspective, the concept is intimately linked on the one hand with national security in its ‘diplomatic’ and ‘geopolitical’ meaning, on the other with its individual and social dimension, pertaining to the sphere of welfare, development and economic growth.
