“Greece has reduced its dependence on Russian natural gas to just 4% in May and June,” said Kostis Stambolis, energy strategy consultant and president of the SE Europe Energy Institute ( IENE).
It is noted that today the countdown for Europe’s energy security began as the Nord Stream 1 pipeline, which supplies natural gas to Germany and by extension central Europe, was closed for maintenance work and serious concerns are being expressed as to whether after the end of maintenance work, the pipeline will return to normal operation.
On the same wavelength, Deputy Finance Minister Theodoros Skylakakis stated that our country is energy-armored.
Speaking to ANT1, Mr. Skylakakis explained that any fiscal gap will depend “on natural gas, because at the moment the government has made a huge intervention in electricity. Today the price of gas was 11 times higher than the pre-crisis price”. .
He even raised the two possible scenarios for natural gas. The first is not to interrupt the supply of Russian natural gas, which will mean a de-escalation of its prices. The second, the interruption of Russian natural gas, “from which Greece will have smaller consequences, since gas is not used in industry”.
