Realigning energy corridors in East Med and Southeast Europe
Europe is undergoing a definitive energy security transformation. The energy geopolitics of the Eastern Mediterranean and Southeast Europe are being rapidly reshaped as US LNG, new cross-border infrastructure, and revived offshore exploration loosen the region’s dependence on Russian gas. Greece and Cyprus are emerging as pivotal nodes in a developing East Med–to–Central Europe supply corridor. Whilst this corridor is redefining energy security for the Balkans and Ukraine while opening the door to significant new commercial opportunities, the shift also exposes the region to complex strategic pressures, not least the central challenge of reconciling immediate energy security needs with the long-term demands of the green transition.
This exclusive webinar, hosted in the lead-up to the Energy Transition Summit: East Med & Southeast Europe in May, is designed to analyse the strategic shifts and geopolitical pressures reshaping the region’s energy landscape. The discussion aims to equip senior leaders, cross-industry executives, policymakers and investors with essential insights into the recent developments in the Eastern Mediterranean and Southeast Europe.

Balancing immediate security with the green transition
What policy and investment trade-offs are essential to reconcile immediate energy security with the long-term green transition, ensuring new gas capacity serves as a sustainable bridge?
