From Energy Shock to Energy Transition

- A crisis that kept escalating - coverage peaked five times over three months as the situation in the Strait of Hormuz moved from a geopolitical risk to a structural test of Europe's energy system.
- The story didn't stay about oil and gas - by the second half of the monitoring period, renewables, storage and electrification appeared alongside fuel prices as part of the same conversation.
- Solar and battery storage led the transition narrative - among specific clean technologies, these two came up most often as the practical, near-term response to fossil-fuel exposure.
