Abstract: Abstract Supply chain disruptions in energy management negatively impact businesses’ performance. In its seventh objective, sustainable development tries to guarantee that all people have access to inexpensive, dependable, sustainable, and contemporary energy. However, many people worldwide suffer from energy supply chain disruption. For example, the 2019 World Bank report shows that 759 million people still live without electricity. The problem herein is energy scarcity as well as energy supply chain disruptions that create an unreliable business environment. In the energy sector, regulators have made a call for supply chain resilience, which refers to a capability to identify and avoid energy disruptions or quickly return to normal activity after a disruption. Integration of renewable energy sources through a hybrid energy supply chain can mitigate this problem. This chapter provides an assessment of sustainable development based on empirical data for integrating two sources of energy, with a focus on environmental, economic, and social impacts. To collect data for evaluating the impacts, field experiments are performed as well as the life cycle assessment analysis. The results show that integrated energy systems, such as hybrid solar energy with natural gas systems, produce lower environmental impacts compared to fossil-fuel-based energy systems. Moreover, integrated energy systems create more job opportunities and alleviate energy poverty.
