Details seem to employ the government staff in terms of protecting the industry against energy costs.
During yesterday (2.10.2025), a second two -ministerial meeting did not come out white smoke, which means that the fermentation will continue. According to the RIS, there was a again exchange of views on improving the competitiveness of the industry and the government reserved to further study the issue before taking any relevant initiatives.
Thus, an open question is whether the final decisions will be made until Tuesday (7.10.2025) when Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis speaks at the General Assembly of BSE.
For the time being, it appears to be gaining ground for a solution using the Italian model, which provides for cheap electricity in the energy-intensive industries for three years and in return, their investments in RES and a return to double within 15-20 years.
The one scenario is to apply this system to larger businesses, with others receiving different kinds of help, such as a decrease in ETMEAR. The second possible scenario wants the Italian model to be applied to everyone, but with more mitigated support, that is, for smaller amounts of power.
However, recent contacts show that the government has taken the issue warm and intends to resolve soon. Mr Mitsotakis now has the final reason, who should carefully weigh the budgetary margins and needs of the industry.
