In January 2023, renewables are ahead; there is a significant decrease in electricity consumption; a large reduction in fossil gas and lignite, but also a 78% jump in net electricity imports.
Interview with NM on ERT3 radio
There were zero imports of Russian gas for domestic consumption from the Turkstream pipeline in January 2023 in Greece. In the first 6 months (August-January) of the 8-month reduction period set by the ΕU, Greece is at -22.6% compared to the 5-year average, exceeding the EU target of -15%, and at -32% compared to the same period last year.
