Energy Sector

The energy sector refers to the portion of the economy that is involved in the production, distribution, and sale of energy. This includes a range of activities related to various forms of energy, such as the extraction of fossil fuels (oil, natural gas, and coal), the generation of electricity (including renewable sources like solar, wind, hydroelectric, and nuclear), and the provision of energy services. The sector encompasses companies that operate in upstream activities (exploration and production), midstream activities (transportation and storage), and downstream activities (refining, distribution, and retail). The energy sector is critical to powering economies, supporting infrastructure, and providing energy for residential, commercial, and industrial use. It also plays a key role in addressing environmental challenges, shifting toward sustainable energy practices, and adapting to regulatory frameworks aimed at reducing carbon emissions and promoting energy efficiency.
