Energy Market Risk Is Redefining Europe's Industrial Future

Energy Market Risk Is Redefining Europe's Industrial Future
Europe’s energy story has taken a sharp turn. What once felt like a short-term energy crunch is now becoming a long-term structural problem.For decades, Europe relied on others for cheap gas, steady oil, and reliable power. Now that foundation is cracking. The continent depends on decisions made in Moscow, Washington, and the Middle East just to keep its lights on.This isn’t only about prices or inflation — it’s about control.
“Energy is no longer just a resource. Today, it’s a weapon — and Europe no longer holds it.”
🎯 Join us at the "Risk Management in European Energy Sector 2026" conference!
📍 19-20 February 2026 | Berlin
From Self-Reliance to Vulnerability
Before the war, almost half of Europe’s gas came from Russia. By 2024, that dropped dramatically — not because Europe no longer needed it, but because it had to find replacements. The result? Europe now pays three times more for U.S. LNG than it used to for Russian gas.At the same time, industries are leaving. Over $90 billion worth of manufacturing — chemicals, steel, fertilisers — has moved or is moving to the U.S. and Asia, where energy is far cheaper. And to make things worse, Europe has started burning more coal again, undoing years of climate progress.Germany, once the “workshop of the world,” is struggling with record-high energy costs. Natural gas that once cost $12 per MWh now costs over $38 — and sometimes even $300 at peak times.A Divided Energy Map
France’s nuclear plants are aging and often offline for repairs.
Italy imports 95% of its gas and is heavily dependent on Algeria and Azerbaijan.
Spain is exporting green electricity but importing energy-intensive goods made elsewhere.Europe’s biggest economies are disconnected — and that fragmentation is deepening.The Power Players Have Shifted
While Europe struggles, others are gaining ground:Russia has redirected gas flows to China and India.
Qatar and Saudi Arabia control global LNG and oil prices.
Algeria is emerging as a new regional energy hub.Four countries — Russia, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Algeria — now hold the power to shake Europe’s energy balance without conflict.The U.S. has become Europe’s top gas supplier, but at a steep cost. Europe now pays over $50 per MWh for U.S. LNG — a far cry from the $15 it once paid for Russian gas.In 2023 alone, Europe spent $60 billion on American gas. Every shipment reminds Europe of one thing: it’s paying more for energy — and for dependence.China plays the long game. It buys cheap Russian gas and Saudi oil — then sells Europe the products made from that low-cost energy: ✅ Electric vehicles ✅ Batteries ✅ Steel ✅ Solar panelsIn 2024, China exported $660 billion worth of goods to Europe — more than double what Europe sold to China. Europe, in effect, is subsidizing its own competition.The Choice Ahead: Dependency or Sovereignty
If Europe stays on this path, by 2030 it will still be paying 2–4 times more for energy than Asia. That means:Industrial decline
Job losses (up to 15 million by 2035)
Shrinking manufacturing outputBut there’s still a way forward. Europe can reclaim its energy independence by investing in large-scale renewables and infrastructure:600 GW solar and 350 GW wind by 2030
10 million tonnes of green hydrogen
Stronger cross-border grid connections
Real incentives for domestic manufacturingThis isn’t just about going green — it’s about survival and sovereignty.A Shared Global Lesson
From Europe to the Americas, the challenge is the same: energy control means economic control. Nations that manage their own supply chains and pricing will lead. Those that don’t will follow.“Energy isn’t just fuel. It’s the foundation of every modern civilization.”
Europe still has time — but not much. The next few years will decide whether it remains a global power or becomes a dependent market.
