| Summary: | Climate change and its impacts on
power systems often mean more frequent power outages and
repairs, which raise maintenance costs and pose other
challenges. Yet proactive modifications in project design,
maintenance, and operation can enhance system resilience at
lower costs than reactive adaptation. This Live Wire
considers the implications of climate resilience in the
power sector and highlights ongoing World Bank work and best
practice, with a focus on Africa. |
