Cross-cutting
Whole-system themes
Use this route when the question is not just about one energy vector. Start with institutions, governance, resilience, and architecture here, then move into electricity or a specialist vector once the whole-system frame is clear.

System context
How the system hangs together
Build the conceptual spine first: history, institutions, and the recurring resilience pressures that shape every later route.
Governance
Who decides, who regulates, and what tools they use
These routes explain decision rights, institutional roles, and the mechanisms used to steer delivery across the sector.
Architecture and data
The models, systems, and digital plumbing underneath delivery
Use these routes when the question is about architecture, data sharing, digital infrastructure, or the standards that hold multi-party coordination together.
Planning and practice
Scenario paths, calculators, and deeper working tools
These routes turn the system view into decisions, comparisons, and practical checks before you move into a specialist domain.
Next route family
Move from whole-system themes into electricity
Once the whole-system frame is clear, the electricity routes give the cleanest physical chain: network, voltage, connections, live operations, markets, and LTDS.
