It was presented today (6.5.2025) in Strasbourg, the plan to finish its dependency EU by the Russian energy, which will stop the introduction of natural gas, oil from the Russia And the Russian nuclear power will gradually be abolished, according to an ERTNEWS report.
According to the European Commission, this plan will ensure stable energy supply and steady prices throughout the Union, while paving the way for Russia’s complete energy independence.
According to the European Commission, the EU saw a recovery of imports of Russian gas, despite the sanctions imposed by the time of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and despite the significant progress achieved under the RepoRereu plan. For this reason, as highlighted in the presentation, coordinated actions are required because it is highlighted is a security issue, the EU’s excessive dependence on Russian energy imports.
The detox map and forecasts
The road map provides coordinated and safely gradually removing Russian oil, gas and nuclear power from EU markets. “The measures are designed to maintain the safety of EU energy supply, while limiting any impact on prices and markets.”
According to the European Commission in 2025, “global LNG supplies are projected to increase rapidly, while the demand for gas will decline. With the full implementation of the Energy Transition Framework and the Action Plan for Energy, the EU is expected to replace up to 100 billion cubic meters of natural gas by 2030, which means a reduction of demand by 40-50 billion cubic meters by 2027. Five times more than today’s imports of the EU Russian gas. “
The map of Russian detoxification will be in the spotlight next month and through the legislative proposals to follow by the Commission next month.
National Plans by EU Member States
The aim of the European Commission is the coordinated and gradual abolition of Russian energy supplies through cooperation with EU Member States. “They will be asked to develop national plans by the end of this year, describing how they will contribute to gradual abolition.”
Another parameter is, according to the European Commission, the security of supply and market stability and therefore the measures will be accompanied by the better use of infrastructure.
The suggestions for natural gas
Regarding gas, “the forthcoming proposals will improve the transparency, monitoring and traceability of Russian gas in the EU markets. That is, new contracts with Russian gas suppliers will be prevented, and the existing contracts will be 20”.
This measure, according to the European Commission, will ensure that by the end of this year, the EU will have reduced the remaining supplies of Russian gas by 1/3. As it was emphasized, “the Commission will further propose that all the remaining imports of Russian gas will be stopped by the end of 2027”.
Finally, the Commission will propose new actions to tackle the Russian petroleum fleet, and will submit proposals for nuclear next month and include measures for “Russian -enriched uranian imports, as well as restrictions on new supply contracts that are co -authored by the European Organization.”
European Commission President Ursula von der Laen said: “The war in Ukraine brutally exposed the dangers of blackmail, economic coercion and price shocks. With Repowereu, we have differentiated our energy supply and drastically reduced Europe’s previous dependence on Russian fossil fuels. It is now time for Europe to completely interrupt its energy ties with an unreliable supplier. And the energy that comes on our continent must not pay for an aggressive war against Ukraine. We owe this to our citizens, our companies and to our brave Ukrainian friends. “
