The European Commission has released a ‘fitness check’ report evaluating the EU’s 2017 and 2019 regulations on gas and electricity security. The assessment reviews how the laws performed during past crises, including the 2021‑2023 energy shock and the April 2025 Iberian Peninsula blackout. It finds that the existing rules helped maintain a stable supply and protect vulnerable customers, but also notes that additional emergency measures were needed during the recent crisis. The report calls for a stronger, cross‑sectoral framework to address emerging risks such as cyber threats, climate impacts and geopolitical shifts. The Commission will publish draft revisions in the first half of 2026, drawing on a public consultation and stakeholder evidence.
