Greece had the sixth lowest wholesale electricity price in Europe in the first 10 days of March, thanks to its diversified energy mix, Environment and Energy Minister Stavros Papastavrou said on Monday, upon his arrival at a meeting of European energy ministers.
The minister’s full statement is as follows: “Another international crisis is knocking on Europe’s door, testing its reflexes. Energy prices touch every home, every business, every aspect of our daily lives, and Europe must be prepared, with targeted measures and flexibilities to protect citizens and businesses. It must rise to the occasion. Greece had the sixth lowest wholesale electricity price in Europe in the first 10 days of March, thanks to its diversified energy mix, renewable sources and hydroelectric power plants. We are moving forward with a plan and determination.”
