Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis was briefed on Thursday by the Energy & Environment Ministry’s Energy Crises Management Committee on the alternative scenarios they were assessing, in the event of a reduced availability, or even a complete interruption of Russian natural gas flow to Europe in the coming fall and winter.
The Finance Ministry’s leadership was also present at the meeting held at Maximos Mansion, in order to ensure the country’s energy sufficiency during that time, ANA-MPA reported.
According to government sources, all data regarding production, import, export and storage were presented, and it was found that Greece is in a more favourable position against potential energy shortages compared to other EU countries.
The trajectory of international fuel prices and the impact on the fiscal strength of the economy were also assessed at the meeting.
