EU Energy Security Dashboard and Data Guide

A permanent guide to the interactive application, its analytical modules and the evidence needed to interpret each view responsibly.

Data build reviewed 2026-07-13 · English

The dashboard brings country-level energy indicators, EU27 trends, partner-source evidence, forecasts and policy scenarios into one research interface. This public guide gives every analytical area a crawlable explanation while the application remains optimized for exploration.

What the dashboard covers

EU27 indicators

ESS1 oil and gas exposure, ESS2 industrial energy intensity, ESS3 domestic production coverage and the direction-normalized ESS4 trajectory.

Understand ESS1–ESS4

Member-state comparison

Country metrics are compared with the EU27 project reference using consistent formulas and source inputs.

Compare EU countries

Energy partners

Raw Comext, official API and published-workbook layers remain separate so claims retain their scope and provenance.

Review partner evidence

Policy scenarios

Baseline, IMEC and Piano Mattei paths combine selected forecast models with transparent author-calibrated assumptions.

Read scenario guardrails

Validation

Rolling-origin backtests, formula checks and a publication-readiness register document what passed and what remains exploratory.

Review validation

Macro and industry

GDP, industrial production, electricity prices, inflation and digital-intensity views add context without replacing the exact ESS targets.

How to use it

  1. Begin with the historical EU27 or country view and identify the metric direction.
  2. Check the methodology page before comparing ESS values with conventional dependency percentages.
  3. Use partner evidence only within the product, unit, period and source layer shown.
  4. Treat scenario paths as structured sensitivity exercises rather than forecasts of certain policy outcomes.
  5. Record the data-build date when citing a chart or result.
