Annual review 2022: Our top 5 articles

As a year, 2022 was a turbulent one for the energy industry: the absence of Russian energy imports, skyrocketing gas and electricity prices, strained LNG infrastructure expansions and the reactivation of nuclear power units. In addition to steps taken to ensure immediate security of supply, foundations were also laid for a sustainable renewable energy supply system. Examples include the European Commission’s REPowerEU Plan and the Inflation Reduction Act in the US.
