Despite Rising Tensions, Europe to Remain Russia's Main Gas Customer
Tatiana Mitrova, Head of the Oil & Gas Department at the Energy Research Institute in Moscow, joins Hughes Belin to analyse the consequences of troubled EU-Russia relations for energy trade.
Even though Mitrova believes that EU sanctions are “not seriously affecting operations in the Russian gas and oil industry”, she describes the current situation as a “perfect storm.” “All negative factors coincide” and can severely undermine gas trade between Russia and the European Union.
According to Mitrova these factors include: Russia’s decision to shift gas eastward, the newly issued European Energy Union strategy, the failure to resolve the South Stream dispute, as well as the difficult political and geopolitical climate.

"Europe and the New Frontiers of Energy: Turning Grand Strategy into Effective Policy - Proposing Sustainable, Efficient and Field-Relevant Solutions"
The Ifri Center for Energy hosted its annual conference on March 4th, 2015 in Brussels. While global energy markets are transitioning to sustainable systems and are confronted by declining oil prices, there is a greater need to align European policies with global energy trends. This year’s theme, “New Energy Frontiers,” is aimed at calling for an outwards look on energy issues in the European Union as a way to create more realistic and stable policies. The discussion will revolve around the question of how the European energy and climate policies can deliver effective results in light of geopolitical upheavals, technological developments and governance issues.

De l'espérance à l'incertitude : l'Europe, l'énergie et le climat 2008-2012
En ce début d’année 2012, nombreuses sont les questions qui se posent en ce qui concerne la politique européenne en matière d’énergie et de climat, mais pour les identifier, il faut, au préalable, rappeler l’architecture de cette politique, esquisser la toile de fond des grands événements politiques et économiques mondiaux des dernières années et tenter un bilan des succès et des échecs.
Efficacité énergétique : les calculs compliqués de la Commission
Qui ne connaît les trois fois 20, ces piliers de la politique énergétique européenne ? Mais qui est capable de donner la définition exacte ?
Y-aura-t-il un jour un marché européen du gaz et de l'électricité ?
A cette question, j’aurais répondu il y a un an plutôt positivement. Aujourd’hui, je n’en suis plus si sûr. Mon relatif optimisme hier se basait sur le remplacement d’un ensemble d’opérateurs nationaux en situation de monopoles (au moins régionalement) par un oligopole d’opérateurs ayant une part importante de leur activité en dehors de leur pays d’origine. Figuraient dans la liste : EON, EdF, RWE, ENEL, GdFSuez, IBERDROLA, VATENFALLS pour l’essentiel.
