Introduction: self-sustaining energy is in full force, since there are various problems caused by the excessive use of electric energy and it contributes to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the mitigation of climate change.Objective: to characterize aspects related to self-sustaining energy as an alternative to power outages.Method: a review of the bibliography available in databases such as SciELO, Scopus and ClinicalKey was carried out, from which a total of 12 related articles were consulted, empirical methods such as logical history and analysis and synthesis were used.Results: energy sustainability refers to the ability to meet energy needs. Renewable energy refers to energy sources that are naturally renewed and that are virtually inexhaustible, self-sustaining energy can also contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. The problem of power outages is a global challenge for which self-sustaining energy is presented as a viable alternative. The self-sustaining energy system should be designed with a focus on resilience and security.Conclusions: the need for policies and programs that promote the adoption of self-sustaining energy and address the identified barriers is highlighted. Furthermore, it suggests that the successful implementation of these technologies could improve energy resilience and enhance the quality of life
