Energy policies of IEA countries : Greece 2002 review

Greece is geographically isolated from other IEA Member countries. It produces little energy, almost all of it from lignite, which is the main source for electricity generation but which creates environmental problems. Energy consumption is growing rapidly making Greece increasingly dependent on imported energy, and electricity supply is expected to be tight over the next three or four years. A well-designed market reform is essential in both the electricity and gas sectors to attract private investment. Gas has been successfully introduced in Greece in the 1990s. Regulatory reform has started. Read more... 1 SUMMARY OF CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS 2 ORGANISATION OF THE REVIEW 3 ENERGY MARKET AND ENERGY POLICY 1. Map of Greece 2.

This edition finds that Greece produces little energy, almost all of it from lignite, which is the main source for electricity generation but which creates environmental problems. Energy consumption is growing rapidly making Greece increasingly dependent on imported energy, and electricity supply is expected to be tight over the next three or four years.
