In January 2025, the European Commission announced it would present a European grids package as part of its competitiveness compass for the EU. The intention of building on the 2023 action plan for grids was reiterated in February 2025, in the Clean Industrial Deal and action plan for affordable energy; and most recently as part of the 2026 Commission work programme adopted in October 2025. The Commission is expected to present the grids package on 10 December 2025. Energy prices in the EU remain higher and more volatile than those of its trading partners, reflecting Europe's dependency on imported fossil fuels and the investment uncertainty caused by recent geopolitical shocks. These pressures are intensified by structural inefficiencies in the energy system: insufficient interconnections, ageing grids, long and inconsistent permitting times, and limited support for distribution-level and digital infrastructure – all of which prevent the EU from fully exploiting its renewable generation potential. Despite progress made on cross-border infrastructure projects with the introduction of the Trans-European Networks for Energy (TEN-E) framework, large-scale investments to support grid expansion are still needed. In terms of implementation, investment is hampered by complex and fragmented grid planning, requiring heavy coordination across different strategies and stakeholders, as well lengthy permitting processes. In this regard, stakeholder groups call for simpler, clearer and more coordinated governance to ensure cross-border and cross-sector integration. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP

At the Versailles Summit in March 2022, EU leaders committed to phasing out Europe's dependency on imported Russian natural gas, oil and coal. EU Member States ceased to import coal from Russia in August 2022, while imports of Russian crude oil dropped from 27 % in 2021 to 3 % of total EU crude oil imports in 2024. However, Russian natural gas still represents a substantial part of total EU gas consumption. The Commission proposed a 'Roadmap towards ending Russian energy imports' on 6 May 2025, aiming at the EU fully ending its dependency on Russian energy, while ensuring stable energy supplies and prices across the EU. A follow-up legislative proposal, published on 17 June 2025, focuses solely on phasing out imports of natural gas and oil from Russia, while imports of Russian nuclear material will be the subject of a separate proposal due to the complexity of supply chains. The proposal introduces legal obligations on Member States and private entities aiming at gradually phasing out pipeline gas and liquefied natural gas (LNG) originating in or exported directly or indirectly from Russia. It also presents measures to facilitate a complete end to Russian oil imports by the end of 2027. A complete phase out of imports of Russian natural gas is envisaged for 1 January 2028, while imports under short-term contracts should end by 17 June 2026. This is an update a of a briefing published in July 2025. Source : © European Union, 2025 - EP
