In securing a lower cost energy Consumers of all categories now pass the government’s effort, based on what it conveyed to the TIF.
Now the relevant Ministries and Maximus estimate that conditions have improved in the part of its wholesale electricity. There, prices fell significantly this summer compared to previous years, resulting in a mitigating energy cost.
In retail, which also concerns most consumers, there was already a fall in invoices in September. The concern of the government is not to note the prices, hence the rigorous message in Kyriakos Mitsotakis’ speech that he will closely monitor the market and not tolerate abusive behaviors. For the second time in a few days, he threatened with a harsh response to those companies who choose to speculate.
The second part of the whole debate concerns the Greek industry, which consumes electricity directly from the wholesale. In its case, the decline in price is not enough. The reason is that Greek prices may converge with the rest of Europe, but remain much higher than international competition and countries such as China. This explains the shift to the so -called “Italian” model, which the Minister of Development, Takis Theodorikakos, said he would support.
Based on this solution, the most energy -intensive industries will receive a subsidized electricity price in exchange for the obligation to invest in RES units, which will return the cheap energy consumed over time.
In this way, one finds why the prime minister himself was particularly stood in the RES as a key way to reduce energy costs for our country. Mr Mitsotakis sent a clear message that there is no other way, especially for a country like Greece that has a rich renewable potential, such as sun and wind.
