NS3040 Summer Term 2014 Issues in EU Energy Security

EU Energy Security I In Europe energy security discussions largely shaped by the 2006 and 2009 gas crisis Russian gas stopped flowing through Ukrainian pipelines following disagreement between the two countries Crisis occurred amidst Rising fears of resource nationalism in energy exporters and In the context of high prices Major concern was that Europe’s economies were vulnerable to political pressure from : Energy exporters and To strategic completion with resource hungry China Today supply fears appear less of a concern. 2

EU Energy Security II In the EU, definitions of “energy security” range from narrow issues of physical supply disruption to broader ones involving the economic, environmental and political consequences of changes to energy markets Simplest definition used by the IEA refers to energy security as “the uninterrupted availability of energy sources at an affordable price.” Achieving this security in the EU requires: efforts to reduce risks to energy systems, both internal and external and to build ways to manage the risks that remain 3

EU Energy Security III Tools to achieve energy security include Ensuring markets function so that forces of demand and supply provide the correct signals of scarcity to consumers and producers Developing adequate production and transport infrastructure Expanding risk management systems (reserves, energy planning and alternative supply routes); Maintaining a diversified portfolio of energy suppliers; and Keeping demand under control (energy efficiency) However energy security considerations must also be balanced against competitiveness and environmental concerns – notably climate change 4

EU Energy Security IV The EU’s Recent Approach Affected by the fact that: There are expectations of lower energy demand: Europe’s economic crisis The maturity of its economies Stagnant demographics and Concerted efforts to reduce fossil fuel use However despite these factors Europe’s import dependence on fossil fuels is expected to rise Imported gas is likely to make up 80% of consumption by 2030 due to declining domestic production in the UK and Netherlands 5

EU Energy Security V Although EU believed to hold a significant amount of shale gas that could contribute to its supply security prospects are bleak for development: Strong environmental opposition Uncertainty about the true extent of the deposits Despite ambitious targets the EU energy mix changed little between 1995 and 2011 Contribution of nuclear energy stayed constant at 14% of consumption Increased use of renewables (from 5% to 10%) and gas (from 20% to 24%) came at the expense of petroleum products (from 39% to 35%) and coal (from 22% to 17%). 6

EU Energy Security VI Each energy source has its own risk profile with some more prone to external supply interruptions Nuclear plants generally keep sufficient fuel on site to operate for more than two years Coal is plentiful, cheap and fungible. Renewable energy development has been largely a domestic process to date For these fuels at least external supply interruptions are not perceived to pose a major risk Since the first oil shocks of the 1970s European states have taken steps to reduce oil import vulnerabilities: Diversifying oil suppliers Creating substantial oil storage facilities and Reducing the importance of oil in their economies 7

EU Energy Security VII Natural gas supply interruptions have cause the most worries due to The transport mechanisms involved (long pipelines from Russia, Norway or Algeria) and Disadvantageous contractual arrangements (long-term take or pay contracts indexed to oil prices The EU has sought to improve energy security by building a resilient interconnected and open internal market and Pursuing a rules-based multilateral approach internationally. The 1994 Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) outlined rules for energy transit, investment protection, dispute settlement and cooperation on environmental Issues 8

EU Energy Security VIII Problem – Russia, despite signing the ECT, never ratified it Russia even pulled out of the agreement altogether in 2009, the same year that it cut off gas to Europe during its dispute with Ukraine. EU policy response to gas crisis over last decade has been: Reinforced drive to make gas markets more open by questioning anticompetitive clauses in long-term supply contracts signed with outside energy suppliers Launching antitrust cases against energy utilities including Gazprom Setting standards and obligations for supply security (eg. obligations to hold reserves) and Promoting greater interconnectivity among isolated national markets in new Central and Eastern European member states 9

EU Energy Security IX EU has sought to diversify supply routes and suppliers The Sothern Corridor –pipeline route for transporting gas from Central Asia, the Caucasus and potentially Middle East via Turkey the most visible EU-led initiatives However high costs and political uncertainties related to the flagship project (the Nabucco pipeline) have kept the project on hold A smaller scale competitor project bringing gas to Italy via Greece and Albania – the TAP pipeline has now been chosen instead Question is how dramatic this setback will be, given that gas markets are rapidly globalizing and thereby easing pressure on import-dependent countries U.S. shale gas revolution – more exports to rest of world Rise of liquefied natural gas (LNG) play a role Shale gas being developed around the world 10

EU Energy Security XI Current developments in revolutionizing gas prices with increasing role being played by spot prices on short-term capacity markets Makes traditional model of pricing through oil index long term contracts less attractive and may alter relationships with producers Greater interconnectivity between states gradually reducing the isolation of markets and eroding barriers that allowed Russia to exert pressure on small markets through different pricing strategies Still considerable Russian pressure on small energy dependent states both within and outside EU 12

EU Energy Security XII Energy security vs. environmental sustainability Today issue of oil and gas scarcity is no longer of primary concern Rather it is the continued abundance of fossil fuels – especially coal that is the primary worry Their ready availability makes it difficult to reduce fossil fuels consumption and CO2 emissions The EU’s climate policy is very ambitious – but faces setbacks. Landmark measures have been The introduction of a carbon emissions trading scheme (ETS) and Binding targets for renewable energies (to comprise 20% of the energy mix) and CO2 emissions (a 20% reduction compared to 1990 by

EU Energy Security XIII Problem: Low carbon prices and the rejection of nuclear power in Germany have led to renewed reliance on coal Despite lower energy consumption during the economic crisis, the EU may not meet its own CO2 emissions targets The fact that the EU’s own domestic climate strategy is showing its limitations may also recue EU influence in the global climate policy area – negotiations on a successor to the 1997 Kyoto Protocol 14

EU Energy Security XIV Implementation of current climate policies raises new energy security concerns The biggest energy security challenge today is how to manage the necessary decarburization of the economy while avoiding the disruption of electricity markets Intermittent sources of renewable energy (wind and solar power) have been developing rapidly Problems: Transmission grids have experienced difficulties coping with the resulting irregular influxes of power Conventional generation plans – gas, coal, nuclear are being forced into “back-up” roles with plants being left idle, new investments delayed and utility firms Under these circumstances, major electricity blackouts cannot be ruled out 15
