Oxford Institute for Energy Studies’ Post

Dr Katja Yafimava has recently interviewed by NE Global on the importance of the ongoing German investigation of Nord Stream attacks and its implications for future European energy security. 👉 Link to article: https://lnkd.in/dHKGrG25 Key points: 💠 Nord Stream attacks have endangered European gas supply in two ways: directly, by making one of its major gas supply routes inoperable; indirectly, by demonstrating that any piece of European energy infrastructure can be sabotaged at will. 💠 An oft-made argument that Nord Stream was not transporting any gas at the time of the explosions and therefore Europe’s supply security was not affected by the attacks is misleading because flows through Nord Stream could potentially re-start pending a resolution of the turbine maintenance dispute had it not been physically damaged. The attack has made such return impossible. 💠 The very fact that Germany has continued its investigation (even though Sweden and Denmark closed theirs) and collected evidence that was deemed sufficient by the German court to grant a request to issue an arrest warrant is a positive development. 💠 It suggests that the rule of law is respected while also signalling that an attack on national energy infrastructure will not be ignored, irrespective of whether and if any allied state actor(s) might have been involved. 💠 If such involvement were to be proven, it would be surprising if it were not to have at least some bearing on Germany’s energy and foreign policies. 💠 If the investigation were to conclude with an indictment of all those involved in masterminding and execution of the attack, it would de facto decrease the risk of any potential attacks on European infrastructure in the future.
