It’s not as simple as that. There isn’t be enough energy in Central Europe (especially Germany and Italy) to meet demand as long as gas imports from Russia are cut off. Building enough new alternative production will take years.
In practice the loss of cheap gas from Russia results in higher demand (and price) for alternative sources of energy, including electricity, in those countries that relied on Russian gas. And since they are connected to the Nordics via the grid, it also spikes electricity prices in the Nordics. For energy producers this is great, but for consumers in the Nordics it is not good at all.
The analogue to the internet fails in the sense that you don’t have constraints with domestic production with internet data like you have with energy.
