A silent revolution in Europe’s power map

The European Commission is preparing an unprecedented shift: by 2030, the EU could import up to 15% of its electricity needs from neighbouring regions — North Africa, the Balkans, and the Caucasus. The goal? Secure green energy and extend Europe’s geopolitical footprint through interconnection, not confrontation.

⚙️ For Producers

New export opportunities, but rising pressure on local generators and transmission networks. Energy will become a tradable diplomatic asset.

□ For Consumers

Greater stability, cleaner supply — but also exposure to imported costs and market interdependence with third countries.

□ For Europe’s Foreign Policy

In absence of a unified diplomacy, electrons become Europe’s new ambassadors — a foreign policy built on interconnection, not armies.
