The Russian invasion of Ukraine is a game changer for the EU gas policy. Moreover, it took place in a world context marked by rising energy prices and market turmoils that prompted increased energy bills for households and firms. Against this background, at least three important questions emerge. First, how could the EU reduce its gas imports from Russia? Second, are LNG imports a short- and long-term solution? Finally, is REPower EU the right answer? To address them, we propose a series of roundtables gathering leading experts and practitioners.
