In its latest News Analysis posted yesterday, and freely accessible, IENE raises the issue of whether the EU is capable of ending its overgrown dependence on Russian energy imports. Over the last 50 years or so the EU and Europe in general have become over dependent on Russian oil, gas and coal imports.
As gas is increasingly becoming a main stay in the overall energy equation the need for vital and accurate information on gas use and markets in SE Europe is of paramount importance. Hence, it was decided by IENE’s management team to expand the current,weekly, newsletter on electricity markets so as to include gas. Efforts to include reporting on gas commenced in late February but it was only on last Wednesday that the preparation of a proper issue became possible.
Following publication of the Institute’s major energy study of SE Europe and its official presentation in Athens (1/3) and Sofia (8/3), a flood of congratulatory and support messages has come through from colleagues and friends from almost all countries in the region and beyond. It appears that the present study has come to fill a huge void in our current knowledge and understanding of the regional energy market, its structure and dynamics.

As the possibility of war and of a full-blown Russian invasion in Ukraine looms high -especially after yesterday’s recognition of Ukraine’s breakaway republics by Russia- fears are growing that Russian gas supplies to several European countries are under threat. These fears are not unjustified given that 22% of the 168,5 Bcm that Russia delivered to the wider European market last year went through pipelines crossing Ukraine.
The Institute is going ahead with its plan to organize once again this highly successful seminar on energy market complexity, which first took place last November.
