Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The European Project "Network Energy Sustainable Transition-NEST", chapter “Final use optimization, sustainability & resilience in energy supply chain” is focused on the sustainable energy optimization in the final use, ensuring sustainable and resilient energy management, energy consumptions, energy generation, energy distribution and uses.
Indeed, Europe wastes at least 20% of its energy due to inefficient components and systems. Final use optimization is a crucial principle that looks to the next generation considering basic energy-saving and cost reduction principles, including environmental protection, sustainability, resilience, and climate neutrality.
One of the challenges of the European Energy Policy (Energy Efficiency First) is to turn Europe into a highly energy-efficient and net zero CO2 energy economy, catalyzing a New Industrial Revolution, accelerating the change to decarbonization and, over a period of years, dramatically increasing the amount of local, low-emission energy that we produce and use, and highlighting that RESs are the key to change. This huge renovation must also consider sustainability and resilience in the energy supply chain, which is of utmost importance to modern societies highly dependent on continued access to energy services.
Energy’s, efficiency, resilience, and reliability must be our benchmarking for a greener transition.
Topics of interest for publication include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Innovative materials and technologies for electrical and energetic systems;
- Energy regulation, governance, and markets;
- Low (zero)-carbon technologies for the reduction of energy demand, electrification, and efficiency of final uses;
- Renewable energy communities, smart districts, and smart cities to enhance energy self-sufficiency and security in final uses;
- Climate change adaptation and energy system resiliency;
- Digitalization in final uses of energy;
- DC networks for electrical distribution.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Energies is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
