European Energy Risk Index (EERI)
The EERI tracks geopolitical risk, gas supply disruptions, and market stress across European energy systems. Updated daily, it provides a single composite score from 0 to 100 measuring systemic risk in European energy markets.
What EERI Measures
EERI aggregates alert severity, regional conflict concentration, and energy asset exposure into a single daily index focused on European energy systems. It captures geopolitical tensions, gas supply disruptions, sanctions impacts, and market volatility affecting natural gas, crude oil, LNG, and power infrastructure across Europe.

EERI Interpretation
Today’s moderate reading on the European Energy Risk Index signals that structural stress remains a persistent feature of the continent’s energy landscape, though not at levels that would demand emergency interventions. The current environment is marked by heightened vigilance, particularly around oil and gas supply chains, as geopolitical and market developments introduce new layers of complexity. For European stakeholders—ranging from utilities to heavy industry—this translates into a need for ongoing scenario planning and flexible sourcing strategies, as the risk of sudden price or supply shocks, while not acute, is far from negligible. The absence of asset-level transmission stress is a positive signal for grid reliability, yet the elevated regional and contagion indicators suggest that market stability is vulnerable to external shocks, especially those emanating from the broader Eurasian theater.
