This short paper explores the European Union’s evolving energy governance in the context of resilience, solidarity, climate neutrality, digital innovations and geopolitical instability. Anchored in Article 194 TFEU, the Union’s energy policy is increasingly shaped by the need to ensure resilient energy markets and solidarity among Member States while navigating the disruptive potential of digital technologies. Recent initiatives, such as Digitalising the Energy System Action Plan, reflect a strategic shift toward integrating artificial intelligence, smart grids and cybersecurity into energy infrastructure to support a more resilient energy sector. This short paper offers a policy-oriented perspective on resilience in the European Union’s energy governance, with particular attention to resilience obligations embedded in regulatory frameworks on the digitalisation of the energy markets and the inherent tensions with the principle of energy solidarity.
