EU Unveils Plan to End Russian Gas Imports by 2027

The roadmap proposes a phased ban on new contracts by 2025 and a full cessation of imports by 2027, sparking debate on enforcement and energy diversification.

Sortir de la dépendance à l'énergie russe (gaz, pétorle, uranium) « n’est pas une mince affaire », a estimé le commissaire européen à l'Énergie et au Logement, Dan Jorgensen.

Overview

  • The European Commission presented a legally binding roadmap to phase out Russian gas imports, targeting a complete ban by the end of 2027.
  • The plan includes a two-step approach: prohibiting new and spot contracts by the end of 2025 and ending all imports by 2027.
  • Hungary has criticized the proposal as ideological, while France faces scrutiny for increasing Russian LNG imports by 81% from 2023 to 2024.
  • Tensions with the U.S. over LNG trade and reliance on American energy supplies complicate efforts to diversify away from Russian energy.
  • Experts highlight challenges in implementing a full embargo, suggesting tariffs on Russian gas as a potentially more viable enforcement mechanism.
