Energy sovereignty is a concept based on the desire to provide a country with control and management of its energy resources, energy production and energy policy in general. This approach means striving for independence and sustainability in the field of energy, minimizing dependence on external energy sources and taking into account national interests. This topic is becoming particularly relevant and important in the current tense time for a number of reasons.
 In the context of geopolitical conflicts and instability on the world stage, countries are striving to minimize their dependence on foreign energy sources. Energy sovereignty provides countries with greater control over their own energy resources and reduces the risk of external political factors affecting energy security. With the growth of the world's population, increasing consumption and industrialization, there is an increasing need for energy. Energy sovereignty allows countries to actively manage their energy resources and ensure stable energy supply for their citizens and economies. In the context of climate change, countries are actively striving to switch to environmentally friendly energy sources. The development of new energy technologies, such as renewable energy sources, energy efficient technologies and energy storage technologies, provides countries with the opportunity to become leaders in innovative approaches to energy. Providing our own energy sources contributes to economic stability and reduces dependence on fluctuations in world energy prices. Energy sovereignty creates conditions for the development of its own energy infrastructure and the creation of jobs in this area. Energy sovereignty is linked to ensuring national security. Dependence on external energy sources can make a country vulnerable to political and economic pressures from other States. The change of emphasis in the global energy sector, aimed at the transition to sustainable sources, creates favorable conditions for the development of energy sovereignty and the development of new technologies.
At the moment, energy sovereignty represents a strategic and multifaceted approach to the management of energy resources and the energy supply system. In different countries and regions, the concept of energy sovereignty can manifest itself in various forms and strategies, depending on their unique conditions and priorities.
Many countries are already facing problems of energy sovereignty. These include both relatively small geopolitical players and regional leaders. Thanks to globalization, countries that were initially deprived of natural energy resources can afford a peaceful existence. However, now, more than ever before, it is important to understand that stability, which is taken for granted by many, can easily sink into oblivion at any moment. Governments that are not ready for the rapidly changing geopolitical situation, hoping for an established peace and global trade in the future, thereby transferring all the hardships associated with the formation of energy sovereignty to descendants, risk not just the happy future of their country, but its existence as a whole.
It is becoming increasingly clear that by 2100, in addition to global environmental problems, humanity also expects a lot of geopolitical upheavals. In this regard, the issue of forming the most independent energy system comes to the fore today. The most striking example confirming the above is the ongoing conflicts and how the countries directly and indirectly involved in them behave. In modern hybrid conflicts, the importance of energy sovereignty cannot be underestimated. Energy resources have long been at the forefront.
The global trend of glocalization outlines the main features of energy sovereignty at the turn of 2100. Going through the processes associated with globalization, and having received both many positive and even more negative consequences from this, more and more states are beginning to adhere to the ideas of forming local sustainable systems. The creation of alliances of countries located in the same region, connected by a common history and culture, common mentalities and political systems, is something that has already begun and has every chance to acquire an even more significant scope in 2100. The formation of such local alliances is the key to ensuring energy sovereignty. In addition to political stability, the unification of local groups of states will fully compensate for the backwardness of individual members of the union in a particular energy sector, accelerate the pace of scientific development, and also increase the stability of the energy system due to the possibility of diversifying the energy portfolios of the member countries.
Thus, the preservation of the sovereignty of the state at the turn of 2100,
without ensuring energy security, it seems increasingly impossible. The ideas of glocalization have every chance to become a determining factor in the development of the concept of energy sovereignty in the near future and will allow countries to survive the coming challenges.
