Greek PM: The first concern of the government is the energy adequacy of the country

"The first concern of the government is to ensure the energy adequacy of the country. At the same time, we are struggling to achieve the lowest possible energy prices for consumers, households and businesses ", noted the Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis, during his visit to the facilities of the Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) terminal on Revythousa island.

"I want to reiterate that we are facing an unprecedented explosion in gas prices. This problem is imported. "A problem that concerns the whole of Europe and that is why I have personally fought for a pan-European answer to a problem that is not purely national, it is European," said the Prime Minister, who earlier toured the island and was given a tour of the terminal facilities by the Managing Director of DESFA, Maria Rita Galli.

"In any case, however, the government is committed to continuing to support energy consumers through a subsidy scheme that will continue next month. And in the event that there is no European answer to this problem, I want all Greeks to know that the Greek Government is ready to take significant additional measures to absorb as much of the increase in electricity bills as possible, as can be allowed by the budget margins," noted Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

"Today we visited Revythousa with the Prime Minister, and Ms. Maria Rita Galli, CEO of the DESFA Consortium informed us about the projects that will be implemented in the next period that increase the capacity of Revythousa, increase the capacity to receive boats with liquefied natural gas. "This gives Greece the opportunity to increase its energy independence in terms of receiving natural gas," said Minister of Environment and Energy Costas Skrekas.
