A 10-Point Plan to Reduce the European Union’s Reliance on Russian Natural Gas
IEA, 3 March 2022
Measures implemented this year could bring down gas imports from Russia by over one-third, with additional temporary options to deepen these cuts to well over half while still lowering emissions
1. No new gas supply contracts with Russia
2. Replace Russian supplies with gas from alternative sources
3. Introduce minimum gas storage obligations to enhance market resilience
4. Accelerate the deployment of new wind and solar projects
5. Maximise generation from existing dispatchable low-emissions sources: bioenergy and nuclear
6. Enact short-term measures to shelter vulnerable electricity consumers from high prices
7. Speed up the replacement of gas boilers with heat pumps
8. Accelerate energy efficiency improvements in buildings and industry
9. Encourage a temporary thermostat adjustment by consumers
10. Step up efforts to diversify and decarbonise sources of power system flexibility
