3 years ago, the EC launched the #REPowerEU Plan to phase out Russian energy imports. So far:
🔻 RU gas imports dropped from 150bcm to 52bcm
📉 RU crude oil dropped from 27% to 3%
🛑 coal imports are reduced to zero
We are now preparing legal proposals to phase out the rest. More ➡️ europa.eu/!6x6wdf

#GasStorage provides 25-30% of gas consumed in the EU during winter ❄️. It reduces the need to import additional gas and contributes to absorbing supply shocks.
Today's level is at 49%, fully in line with the reference 5-year average pre-crisis.
