Does Luxembourg have energy security?

Energy security dimension Luxembourg has neither large power stations for generating electricity, nor installations for generating and storing gas. It is therefore largely dependent on energy imports and thus on a functioning European internal market for electricity and gas.

How will Luxembourg's energy policy affect the industrial sector?

The rest of Luxembourg’s industrial sector will be affected in particular by the voluntary agreement to make additional energy savings of around 1 000 GWh from 2020 onwards; in other words, an approximate 12 % reduction within 12 years.

How does a high import dependency affect Luxembourg's Energy Security?

The high import dependency means that Luxembourg’s energy security is highly dependent on the neighbouring European countries. Supply bottlenecks in neighbouring countries and Europe as a whole therefore also directly affect Luxembourg.

Does Luxembourg have a gas reservoir?

Luxembourg likewise has no domestic gas reservoirs. Therefore, the required working gas volume and the corresponding injection and withdrawal capacities in other countries are used, in particular in the supply and transit countries from which or via which the gas is also procured.
