Minister: Almost 'zero chances' of power cuts due to energy crisis in Greece

There are nearly zero chances that the energy crisis will lead to power cuts, Environment and Energy Minister Kostas Skrekas said on Tuesday, talking to the private broadcaster Skai, ANA reports.

“In life and at a time when a conventional and energy war is raging, no one can rule out anything, but I repeat that these possibilities are very small, almost zero,” Skrekas noted.

Referring to the subsidies for energy bills, which the government is due to announce in the next few days, Skrekas repeated that there will be three subsidy brackets, ranging from high to low, as well as an additional discount for anyone cutting energy consumption relative to the previous year. It is estimated that these will absorb 90-94 pct of the rate increases.
