This article explores the integration of lightning science into energy management and sustainability (EMS) practices, offering a novel perspective on optimizing energy systems and enhancing their resilience. With the increasing frequency and intensity of extreme weather events attributed to climate change, articulating the behavior of lightning strikes has become paramount for safeguarding energy infrastructure and ensuring sustainable energy production. Recent advancements in lightning detection and warning systems (LDWSs) provide valuable insights into the spatial and temporal distribution of lightning strikes, enabling more accurate forecasting of potential disruptions to energy grids. By incorporating real-time lightning data into energy management systems, operators can preemptively adjust electrical power generation strategies to minimize downtime and maximize efficiency, thereby enhancing energy delivery. Furthermore, leveraging insights from lightning science can inform the development of lightning-protection technologies for energy infrastructure, reducing the risk of damage and improving overall system reliability. By mitigating the impact of lightning strikes on energy assets, stakeholders can not only enhance operational resilience but also contribute to long-term green transition goals. This chapter reviews the potential of integrating lightning science into EMS practices as a proactive approach toward building robust and sustainable energy systems for green transition.
