Background

Keating moved to Brussels in 2010 after earlier reporting stints covering London's financial sector, the US Congress, Paris, Prague, Chicago courts and New York City. He edited European Voice, a Brussels-focused political publication that was owned by The Economist Group before it shut down in 2015. Since then he has built a multi-outlet career as a specialist EU energy and climate reporter, writing regularly for Forbes, Energy Monitor (part of the Euractiv/GlobalData-linked network), Euractiv and the New Statesman, while serving as France 24's Brussels correspondent. He is also a nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council, a NATO-aligned Washington think tank. He has been ranked among the top EU-focused social media influencers in Brussels press circles in recent years. His body of work consistently favors EU climate ambition, single-market cohesion and close US-EU ties, and he has been a vocal skeptic of Trump-administration energy and trade policy, including the 2025 EU-US tariff-and-energy-purchase deal, which he and other analysts have characterized as unrealistic and misaligned with European climate goals.
