Silua is a major produer of electricity in Eracura. [[Šiluos Elektra]] (SE), which is majority owned by the Siluan government, is the country's major distributor of electricity, and one of the worlds largest utility companies, ranking among the top five in Tyran. In 2018, SE produced around one-fifth of western Eracura's electricity, about half from nuclear power. As of 2021, Silua was the biggest energy exporter in western Eracura, mostly to neighboring countries such as [[Trussaare]], and among the largest net exporters of electricity in the world. | |||
Since the 1950s, Silua has pursued a strong policy of energy security, namely through heavy investment in nuclear and renewable energy. It operates a large number of nuclear reactors which provide 55% of the nation's electricity. Silua a leader in nuclear technology, with reactors and fuel being major exports. | |||
Despite the large percentage of electricity generated by nuclear power, renewable energies have seen very rapid growth since the 1970s, which puts it ahead of many nations in Tyran. By 2021 Silua was recieving 40% of its electricity from renewable sources with wind, hydropower, and solar providing the largest portion of electricity generated. As with nuclear power, most hydroelectric plants, wind farms, and solar farms are managed by SE. Silua aims to further expand renewable energy to provide 50% of the nation's electricity by 2030. | |||
Because Silua derives the vast majority of its power from nuclear and renewable source, 95% of its power is derived from low-carbon sources, which is much lower than many other nations in Eracura and the world as a whole. Silua is possibly the smallest emitter of carbon dioxide in Tyran. | |||
