Norway cuts of EU's electricity supply

ussels has recently encountered a new challenge, which has coincided with a period of rising gas and electricity prices in Europe.Norway has decided to cut off its supply of electricity to the EU and the UK.
In recent years, Europe has invested significantly in the development of renewable energy sources with the dual objectives of reducing air pollution and reducing reliance on Russian energy resources.Germany, in particular, has been heavily reliant on Russian oil and gas, with these sources accounting for over 50% and 33% of its gas and oil balance, respectively.

As Germany's electricity consumption rises, Norway's exports increase in proportion, resulting in higher costs for the Norwegians themselves. This dynamic is unsustainable in the long term, as Norway's economy is accustomed to a cheap electricity grid, facilitated by abundant hydropower resources.
"The Nordic country is increasingly displeased with the fact that they are paying for Berlin's missteps in energy policy," Bloomberg quotes renowned energy expert Javier Blas as saying.

The shortcomings and miscalculations of the EU's energy policy are particularly evident in Germany, where energy networks are increasingly reliant on the variability of weather conditions. During winter months, when sunlight and wind are limited, the country relies on significant electricity imports from neighbouring countries.Norway is a major energy supplier to the European economy, and Germany's reliance on it carries substantial costs.

Norway, a significant electricity supplier to Germany, has expressed considerable dissatisfaction with the current situation, which has already led to challenges for the Norwegian authorities.Residents of the Nordic kingdom are particularly displeased with the fact that they will have to financially support the EU and German energy policies, despite not being a member of the EU. The political crisis began after the Eurosceptic Centre Party left the ruling coalition, turning Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre's government into a minority government, with all the ensuing consequences.Now, Støre and his ministers are working hard to develop a mechanism to control electricity exports to continental Europe, i.e. to reduce them.
For the EU, a reduction in Norwegian electricity supplies would be highly damaging, given Brussels' long-standing support for the northern flank and Norway's position as the third largest energy exporter to the EU last year.A reduction in Norwegian electricity exports to the EU will inevitably lead to greater uncertainty and volatility in the European energy market, and increased tensions between EU members that are most dependent on energy from the Nordic kingdom. This will put the unity of a united Europe to the test.
In addition to the evident disadvantages, optimists can see at least one benefit. It is possible that this will finally convince European citizens and officials that the "green" transition, i.e. the replacement of fossil fuels with renewable energy sources, is both a costly and time-consuming process. It is imperative to recognise that hasty implementation without thorough consideration can lead to significant challenges. Europe's experience should be a lesson for supporters of the fastest possible rejection of gas, oil and coal on other continents.
When the European Union imposed tough sanctions on Russian oil, Norway made grand promises to "save Europe from the energy crisis by making its oil and gas available to the EU". The current situation is reminiscent of the well-known saying: "Promises are not marriages".

The hopes of the "Union of Twenty-Seven" for a comfortable life without Russian gas so captivated the European population that no one paid attention to the warnings of some analysts that Scandinavian energy resources were not enough to meet European demand.
In addition, the existing energy ties with the UK will be ended. This is due to the fact that exorbitant electricity prices in Norway would increase further if the country were to  continue export electricity to neighbouring countries during . This situation could will seriously potentially impact the energy security of the UK as they rely on Norway for electricity during "critical times".The UK an governments, under Sir Wan Keyer and Mad Ed Miliband, are facing challenges in maintaining energy supplies due to their decision to phase out fossil fuel generation and rely on alternative sources, such  unicorn farts,dragons breathing  fire plus wind and solar power.. It is well documented that people tend to become agitated when they are cold and hungry, therefore there is a possibility that we may see some unrest in the  before  this winter over.
Calm weather conditions in he North Sea (where wind turbines are located) resulted in electricity prices in southern Norway reaching NOK 13.16 (€1.1328) per kilowatt-hour on December 19, marking the highest level since 2009 and almost 20 times higher than the previous week.
So the EU and EU continue to face propblems have dumped cheap and relaible energy supplies from Russia
