This research examines how geopolitical risks affect electricity supply mixes using advanced econometric methods on a monthly panel dataset of 23 OECD countries spanning from January 2010 to December 2023. The findings indicate that geopolitical risks generally boost countries’ energy self-efficiency by increasing both total and renewable electricity production while decreasing net electricity imports. The study also emphasizes the variability of these impacts based on the nature and transmission channels of geopolitical shocks.
