NATO and EU leaders demonstrate joint energy strategy at North Sea gas platform.

The heads of NATO and the European Commission visited Norway's Troll A gas platform to discuss the security of supplies and infrastructure, highlighting Norway's importance for gas shipments since Russia's invasion of Ukraine. NATO and the EU have increased their presence and monitoring of Norway's energy infrastructure, which is vital but vulnerable due to its size. The Troll A platform alone covered 11.3% of EU gas consumption last year, and the gas from Troll is piped to a processing plant on Norway's west coast before it is piped again to the European Union and Britain.
