"Best of times, worst of times" When we titled our paper on the distributional implications of the 2022 fossil energy crisis, we did predict that such crises were likely to occur again -- but didn't think as soon again as 2026! Link to the (free) paper: www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Europe should move faster on electrification, renewables, storage and grid integration, because those investments reduce exposure to volatile global fuel markets rather than merely shifting that exposure from one foreign supplier to another.

There is already some evidence that the oil price shock is beginning to affect demand for EVs as petrol prices surged after the start of the Iran war, while fuel crises in parts of Asia-Pacific have similarly boosted EV demand.

Andrei Sterescu @andreisterescu.bsky.social · 19/04/2026

In transport, higher renewables use and wider EV adoption can weaken exposure to fossil fuel price shocks by shifting part of household and firm transport spending away from volatile global oil markets and towards electricity.

Europe remains highly exposed outside the power sector. Fossil fuels still dominate transport and still account for a large share of energy use in households and industry.

A cleaner power mix can materially weaken an important transmission channel from fossil fuel markets to inflation, even if it does not eliminate broader exposure altogether.

Renewables are a structural hedge against fossil fuel shocks. In power markets, the more often wind, solar, hydro and nuclear cover demand, the fewer the hours in which gas sets the marginal price, and the weaker the link between global gas markets and domestic electricity costs.

After 2022, European countries cut gas demand, filled storage and diversified supply. But the deeper shift, towards electrification and structurally lower fossil fuel demand progressed more unevenly and the green transition has even lost much of its earlier political momentum.

The 2026 Iran war has reinforced the lesson the lesson we should’ve learned after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. As long as Europe remains tied to volatile global oil and gas markets, geopolitical disruption will keep feeding into inflation and weaker growth.
