Greece has this year’s seventh more expensive price wholesale power across the EU, as evidenced by the data published by the RAAE Energy Regulatory Authority.
Specifically, the average wholesale power to date in our country is 104 euros/MWh. Above us are Bulgaria, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Malta and Romania with power rates ranging from 104 to 119 euros.
Sweden for 37 euros is the lowest price and then Spain and Portugal for 65 euros.
However, Greece is at least cheaper than its neighbors, as Italy, Albania, Northern Macedonia and Bulgaria pay well above.
In addition, it is worth adding that during the first quarter the wholesale price in Greece was found at 144 euros, so there was a significant declining that led to 104 euros by the end of August.
The picture at the final retail prices that pay the households is different. In this case, Greece ranks 16th in the list published by HEPI for July and compares taking into account all charges, that is, along with fees and taxes.
However, if the purchasing power is taken into account in each country, then Greece rises from 16th to 9th, that is, above the European average.
Stavros Papastavrou was reported on Friday prices on Friday. As he pointed out to SKAI, this summer there was a significant declining compared to previous years. However, the ministry is not resting and at the beginning of September it will submit new proposals to the EU Working Group. to deal with problems in the wider market.
“The goal is to see how the decline in the final consumer prices will pass,” the minister said.
