US EditionEU Unveils Plan to End Russian Gas Imports by 2027
- The European Union plans to unveil a roadmap on Tuesday outlining how to phase out all Russian fossil fuel imports by 2027 across its 27 member states.
- This roadmap follows the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine and aims to sever long-standing energy ties amid challenges like Hungary and Slovakia's opposition to sanctions.
- The plan includes legal efforts to annul existing gas contracts, exploring force majeure claims, while also seeking alternatives such as increased U.S. Liquefied natural gas imports.
- In 2024, the EU paid on average 274% more for Russian LNG than in early 2021, with Russia still supplying over 15% of EU gas deliveries, largely under long-term contracts held by firms like TotalEnergies.
- The roadmap signals continued efforts but faces complex legal hurdles and unanimous member-state approval challenges, implying that a complete ban or embargo remains uncertain by 2027.
