This draft report on the security of energy supply in the EU calls for a comprehensive approach covering physical, affordability, sustainability and geopolitical dimensions, and stresses the need to revise energy security understanding. It urges phasing out Russian energy imports, including nuclear, and calls for transparency and traceability mechanisms for Russian gas and oil. It calls for a revised security of supply framework with diversification plans, safeguards against returning to Russian imports, and stronger coordination among member states.

Committee position. The rapporteur proposes a resolution that calls for a comprehensive energy security approach, phasing out Russian energy imports, and revising the security of supply framework.

Key points

  1. Calls for a comprehensive approach to energy security that includes physical, affordability, sustainability and geopolitical dimensions.
  2. Stresses that the geopolitical situation requires revising energy security understanding, as the 'peace dividend' is over and resilience is a strategic imperative.
  3. Highlights the need for capacity mechanisms to promote investment in flexible generation and storage in renewable-dominated systems.
  4. Stresses that decarbonisation must respect member state specificities and ensure a just transition balancing climate ambitions with economic realities.
  5. Emphasises the role of nuclear energy and technological neutrality in enhancing security of supply.
  6. Calls for increasing domestic production, including natural gas in the EU and EEA, and investing in new energy networks and infrastructure protection.
  7. Urges member states to address security risks from foreign investment in energy infrastructure and calls for support for grid manufacturing.
  8. Expresses concern over increased reliance on Russian gas and calls for a roadmap to end all Russian energy imports, including nuclear.
  9. Calls for transparency and traceability mechanisms for Russian gas and oil imports, with dissuasive penalties for sanctions evasion.
  10. Calls on the Commission to include a diversification framework requiring each member state to prepare an exit plan for Russian energy sources.
  11. Condemns calls for returning to Russian energy imports and calls for safeguards like Commission countersignature on contracts with Russia.
  12. Stresses the need for stronger coordination among member states, including on generation capacity withdrawal and protected consumer categories.

Who is affected

  • EU member states: must prepare exit plans for Russian energy sources and address foreign investment risks.
  • EU companies: affected by calls for transparency and traceability of Russian gas imports and potential contract safeguards.
  • Energy infrastructure operators: need to invest in protection against military and cyber attacks.

Figures and deadlines

  • EU imports more than 60% of its energy.
  • EU imported 30% more natural gas from Russia in May 2024 than in September 2022.
