Highlights
- Greece aims to cut GHG emissions by 58% in 2030 and reach net zero emissions by 2050.
- To overcome its reliance on lignite, Greece is developing renewables, which should cover 81% of its capacity in 2030.
- PPC dominates the power sector with 38% of power generation.
- Helpe accounts for 2/3 of the refining capacity.
- Italgas is the largest gas distributor.
- Renewables accounted for 47% of the power mix in 2023. Lignite is disappearing from power generation.
- Greece is fully dependent on imports for its gas and oil supplies.
- Electricity prices surged in 2021 and 2022, despite subsidy mechanisms.
- In 2023, oil and gas prices decreased compared to 2022.
- Per capita energy consumption is 34% below the EU average.
- The share of oil in total energy consumption reached 54% (2023).
- Greece plans to phase out lignite-fired power plants by 2026.
- The country is focusing on the development of gas and solar capacity (47 GW of solar under development).
Institutions & Energy Policy
The Ministry of Environment and Energy (MoEE) coordinates the energy policy and controls public companies. The General Secretariat for Energy and Mineral Resources (MoEE department) is responsible for implementing energy policy in sectors including power, oil, gas, renewables, and energy efficiency.
Energy Companies
Electricity:
PPC (Public Power Corporation or DEI in Greek) is the largest power producer and is active in electricity transmission and distribution. It is 34% state-owned (through HRADF). The privatisation of PPC started in 2001 with a capital increase and a divestment of 16% of the capital and the sale of 17% in 2016 under the third international bailout.
Energy Supply
Gas:
All the natural gas consumed is imported. Natural gas imports fell by 11% to 5.7 bcm in 2022 in a context of soaring prices and dipped by 1.8%% in 2023 to 5.6 bcm. They doubled between 2014 and 2021 to 6.4 bcm. Imports from Russia via pipeline have historically accounted for most of gas imports but the share from Russia in piped gas imports dropped from 64% in 2021 to 48% in 2023.
Energy Prices
Gas:
In 2023, the gas price fell by 13% for households to €10.5c/kWh) and by 48% to €5.3c/kWh for industry, after a surge between 2020 and 2022 (doubling for households and increasing fivefold for industry). Previously, gas prices declined between 2012 and 2020 (-12%/year for industry and -8.5%/year for households).
Energy Consumption
Total energy consumption per capita is 1.8 toe in 2023 (34% below the EU average), including around 4 700 kWh of electricity (13% below the EU average).
