Climate change poses significant challenges to energy power systems worldwide, affecting their reliability, efficiency, and resilience. This study examines the multifaceted impacts of climate change on energy production, distribution, and consumption. Rising global temperatures and shifting weather patterns exacerbate the frequency and intensity of extreme events such as hurricanes, floods, and heatwaves, leading to disruptions in power generation and transmission infrastructure. Renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, are particularly sensitive to changing climatic conditions, with variability in resource availability impacting energy supply stability. Furthermore, higher temperatures increase cooling demands, straining existing energy systems and amplifying peak loads. This research highlights the vulnerabilities within the power sector, explores adaptation strategies such as grid modernization and decentralized energy systems, and emphasizes the role of climate-resilient energy policies. By addressing these challenges, the study provides a roadmap for developing sustainable and robust energy systems capable of withstanding future climate uncertainties.
