The energy shock of 2022 triggered a profound structural shift in Europe’s energy landscape, with consequences extending far beyond market volatility. The surge in gas prices at the Dutch TTF hub, initially perceived as a transient crisis, became the catalyst for a strategic decoupling from Russian energy dependence.
Within two years, imports from Russia fell from forty percent of Europe’s supply mix to less than ten, forcing a realignment of trade flows, investment patterns, and geopolitical priorities. What began as an emergency response evolved into an industrial reconfiguration, in which security and sustainability became indistinguishable policy goals.
