The Answer is Energy transition is the "complex socio-technical processes of decarbonization within energy systems, and involve both bringing in low, or zero, carbon energy and phasing out old, high carbon energy" (Kuzemko et al., 2020). It signifies the period between the introduction of a new resource or technology and growth into a significant share of the market. Accelerating the transition to clean energy requires innovation in the buildings, industry, transportation, and electricity sectors. But forecasting the timeframe for energy transition is challenging. On one hand, a pandemic stifles the transition, as countries focus on health and economic crises. On the other hand, a pandemic galvanizes a country to investigate renewable alternatives, especially wind and solar, in order to decrease the dependence on cross-border energy markets.
