What is the immediate impact on European gas prices and storage levels due to the halt of Russian gas imports via Ukraine?

On January 1st, 2024, Russian natural gas supplies to Europe via Ukraine ceased after a transit deal expired. This resulted in a 5% decrease in EU natural gas imports and caused the Dutch TTF benchmark price to surge to €51 per megawatt-hour, its highest since October 2023, before slightly easing. European gas inventories are at 75%, depleted faster than in 2021 due to cold weather.

What are the long-term implications of Germany's increased reliance on energy imports for its energy security and climate goals?

Despite lagging onshore wind energy expansion and the shutdown of nuclear power plants, Germany's renewable energy sector showed strong growth in 2024. Continued investment in photovoltaic and battery storage technologies is crucial to integrating further renewable energy sources and reducing reliance on energy imports. Increased imports from neighboring countries reflect cost-effectiveness rather than supply shortages.

How does Fico's handling of the gas transit issue relate to Slovakia's internal political climate and economic challenges?

Fico's actions, including a Moscow visit and interview with a notorious Russian propagandist, reveal a shift towards pro-Russian stances. This shift coincides with Slovakia's economic struggles, including a large budget deficit and the loss of Russian gas transit fees. Fico uses the Ukraine conflict as a distraction from domestic issues, mirroring Orbán's tactics.

How did Transnistria's previous energy arrangement with Russia contribute to the current crisis?

Transnistria, for over 15 years, benefited from free Russian gas, using it to generate electricity sold cheaply to Moldova. This arrangement ended with the contract expiration, creating the current crisis and leaving Moldova facing higher energy costs, particularly as it relies on Transnistria for about 80 percent of its energy needs. Moldova's government is disputing Russia's claim of a 700 million euro debt, with an independent audit revealing a far smaller amount.
