The report sets out a new vision for EU energy security, stressing resilience, diversification, and the phase-out of Russian energy imports by 2027. It calls for updated security of supply rules, infrastructure protection, and support for renewables, nuclear, and energy efficiency.

Committee position. The Committee on Industry, Research and Energy proposes a resolution that calls for a comprehensive energy security strategy, including phasing out Russian energy imports by 2027 and strengthening infrastructure resilience.

Key points

  1. Defines energy security broadly, including physical infrastructure, affordability, sustainability, and geopolitical and climate dimensions.
  2. Stresses that capacity mechanisms should secure dispatchable backup capacity, be open to various resources, and avoid market distortions.
  3. Highlights the role of nuclear energy for Member States that choose it, and calls for diversifying uranium and nuclear fuel supply sources.
  4. Calls for support for renewable technologies, including an investment plan, and notes geothermal potential of 510 GW by 2035.
  5. Calls for a comprehensive strategy on liquid fuels to ensure military access and reduce import dependencies.
  6. Urges assessment of insufficient interconnectors, acceleration of permitting, and investment in grid-enhancing technologies.
  7. Calls for stronger EU action to protect critical energy infrastructure from cyber and hybrid attacks, including mandatory risk assessments for distributed energy resources.
  8. Demands an EU-wide ban on all Russian natural gas imports by 2027, and on new contracts by end of 2025.
  9. Calls for transparency and traceability mechanisms for Russian gas and oil imports, and for Member States to publish data on Russian gas.
  10. Calls for a legal framework requiring each Member State to prepare an exit plan for Russian energy sources.
  11. Rejects certification of Nord Stream 2 and calls for complete decommissioning of Nord Stream pipelines.
  12. Calls for the security of supply framework to include energy efficiency, resilience, and coordination on decommissioning.

Who is affected

  • EU Member States: must prepare exit plans for Russian energy, phase out Russian gas imports by 2027, and enhance infrastructure protection.
  • Energy companies: urged to cooperate with cybersecurity agencies and adopt advanced tools.
  • EU institutions: Commission to propose measures, including a liquid fuels strategy and security of supply revision.

Figures and deadlines

  • EU imports over 60% of its energy, including 90% of gas and 97% of oil.
  • Energy imports cost EUR 427 billion in 2024, down from EUR 602 billion in 2022.
  • Russian gas share of EU imports fell from 45% in 2021 to 19% in 2024.
  • EU imported EUR 7 billion worth of Russian LNG in 2024.
  • In 2023, 23.5% of uranium consumed in the EU came from Russia, and 30.1% was enriched by Russia.
  • Grid congestion curtailed over 12 TWh of renewable electricity in 2023.
