Die Abhängigkeitsrate von Energieimporten in der EU betrug 57 %, was bedeutet, dass fast 60 % des Energiebedarfs der EU durch Nettoimporte gedeckt wurden. Die höchsten Werte wurden in Malta (98 %), Luxemburg (91 %) und Zypern (88 %) festgestellt, während die geringste Abhängigkeit in Estland (5 %), Schweden (27 %) und Lettland (29 %) zu verzeichnen war.

In 2024, the main energy product category imported was oil and petroleum products (including crude oil, which is the main component), accounting for 67% of energy imports into the EU, followed by natural gas (24%), solid fossil fuels (4%), electricity (3%), and renewable energy (2%).
Regarding the different products, the largest share of oil and petroleum products came from the United States (16%), natural gas came mostly from Norway (30%) and the biggest share of solid fossil fuel imports (mostly coal) originated from Australia (31%).
Islands or countries too small to produce energy on their own, logical
„Luxembourg (91%) and Cyprus (88%)“
Luxembourg has some solar PV, but could have 10* more. There is a lot of agriculture in LU. Every farm in LU should be a net producer of power and sell to the grid. If just 1% of Luxembourg area had solar PV it would annually generate as much electric energy as used annually in LU.
Cyprus is a sun drenched country. Cyprus has lots of space. Why is Cyprus not the EU leader in solar PV installation? Instead most power in Cyprus is still from oil.

At what point do European nations realize that their energy insecurity is an existential threat and building out renewables or nuclear will do much more for their national security than buying more American fighter jets and other nonsense?
Being exposed like this to adversaries, dictatorships, and autocracies is both dangerous and foolish. We already experienced two oil shocks in the 70s for similar reasons, followed by a major energy crisis in 2022, just four years later, another one. Have we learned nothing?
We should build more renewable energy, accelerate the deployment of batteries, switch to electric vehicles, stop heating with gas, and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.
I would have thought it was much higher, where does Luxembourg get 9% of it’s energy which isn’t imports from?
Instead of EU support for agriculture produce, it should partly be changed towards support for installation of solar PV, wind turbines and biogas on agriculture farms.
If each farm is a net power producer it will also be easier to introduce electric farm vehicles and tractors.
5% for Estonia doesn’t sound right…we literally import all the oil and gas we use. We also import quite a lot of electricity from Finland.
