Distribution of HHI scores across all scored EU member states for this axis.

This axis is computed from 3 data channel(s). Each channel represents a distinct trade-flow or dependency dataset.

[MEDIUM]Pipeline gas and LNG not separated. A country importing 50% pipeline gas from Russia and 50% LNG from multiple sources scores as if partially diversified.
[MEDIUM]Re-exports and transit flows may distort bilateral attribution across all fuel types.
[LOW]No price or contract-duration effects captured. Volume-based concentration only.

This axis measures structural concentration (HHI-based) in the energy dependency domain. It does not capture:

High concentration ≠ high vulnerability. Contextual interpretation required.
