In 2022, Russia's invasion of Ukraine and weaponisation of Europe's gas supplies sparked an unprecedented energy crisis in the EU. This was made worse because the French nuclear fleet was partially shut down, and the summer droughts in the EU made it difficult to generate electricity from water.

It also reflects on the outlook and main challenges for the EU’s clean energy transition and offers recommendations for the way forward.
