Abstract
The 2021 energy crisis presented itself as a haunting event for the European Union’s (EU) energy transition by greatly increasing energy prices and threatening the security of supply for consumers throughout the bloc. Previous studies have combined expert insights within several member states such as Italy, Greece and Germany, with the energy trilemma indicator to measure its impacts and implications. Pioneering research in the field has also incorporated historical institutionalism as a lens to reflect upon the effect of the 1970s oil crisis on the institutional logics revolving the US’s energy sector. Contrary to popular belief, the crisis is not only harmful for the EU’s energy transition. This research’s findings utilise the exogenous shock’s impacts on the Dutch energy market as a case study to highlight the shortcomings of energy policymaking at the European and Dutch level. They indicate that although the crisis was harmful in the short term, it has triggered shifts in mindsets of stakeholders, and can be employed by policymakers to trigger problem searching processes which can offer up great promise for the future of the EU’s energy transition, in the long term.
