The report identifies the EU's reliance on fossil fuel imports—nearly 60% of primary energy supplies—as a structural geopolitical risk. It proposes a five-step framework (Electrify, Connect, Flex, Decarbonise, and Shield) to enhance energy sovereignty. Key recommendations include increasing electrification, expanding the interconnected grid, deploying energy storage, decarbonising heavy industry, and using the EU Methane Emissions Reduction (MER) regulation to phase out high-risk suppliers like Russia and the USA. The document emphasizes that while clean energy investments reached approximately 346 billion EUR in 2025, they must scale to 1.5 trillion EUR annually by 2050 to achieve the transition.

  • The European Union's reliance on fossil fuel imports, which account for nearly 60% of primary energy supplies, is a significant threat to its sovereignty and industrial competitiveness.
  • Approximately 40% of EU fossil fuel imports come from suppliers that have either threatened or considered cutting off supplies, increasing vulnerability to energy crises.
  • Electrification offers a major path to security because 81% of electricity production does not depend on imported fuels, and 89% of final energy demand could be met via electrification using existing technologies.
  • The EU Methane Emissions Reduction (MER) regulation can be used to discourage imports from high-risk, high-emission suppliers such as the USA and Russia, with monitoring requirements starting in 2027 and intensity standards in 2030.
  • EU clean energy investments in 2025 were approximately 346 billion EUR, representing 2.1% of GDP, which is below the global average of 2.9%.
  • To achieve a full clean energy transition by 2050, annual investment levels in the EU need to increase to 1.5 trillion EUR.
