In April, the European Academies\u2019 Science Advisory Council (EASAC) published a report on the Security of Sustainable Energy Supply in Europe<\/strong>. This document has gained particular relevance following the power outage that occurred on 28 April<\/strong> across the Iberian Peninsula, highlighting the vulnerabilities of current energy systems and the urgent need to strengthen their resilience. The report directly addresses this critical issue: how to ensure a secure, sustainable, and autonomous energy supply for Europe.<\/p>\n

David Serrano<\/strong>, Director of IMDEA Energ\u00eda, played an active role in drafting the report, representing the Royal Academy of Exact, Physical and Natural Sciences of Spain (RAC)<\/strong>. His contribution drew on his extensive expertise in sustainable energy technologies and energy transition strategies.<\/p>\n

The report warns that Europe’s dependence on imported fossil fuels<\/strong>, particularly oil and gas, is a major source of both economic and political vulnerability. This reliance exposes the continent to external pressures, geopolitical blackmail, and supply disruptions with potentially severe consequences for both industry and households.<\/p>\n

According to the report, high and volatile energy prices are undermining investor confidence, weakening industrial competitiveness, and increasing the risk of energy poverty for millions of European citizens.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThe only way to guarantee a secure and affordable energy supply is through a well-managed energy transition based on domestic, sustainable sources and innovative technologies developed in Europe,\u201d<\/em> the report states.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Key recommendations from the report include:<\/p>\n
