Greece is fully in line with the objectives of the Paris Climate Agreement and the “winter package” of the European Commission, Environment and Energy Minister George Stathakis said, according to ANA.
The Minister presented the main axes of national energy planning, which include a reduction in lignite production so that this approaches roughly 20 pct, an increase in the share of RES to about 50 pct in the future and action to improve energy efficiency by 30 pct.
He also presented the major gas infrastructure projects that Greece is involved in and said that a growing number of companies with extensive experience in the use of hydrocarbons had shown interest in launching operations in Greece. He noted the gradual completion of the TAP pipeline, the East Med pipeline, the upgrading of the Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) facility at Revythousa, the forthcoming construction of the floating LNG Terminal in Alexandroupolis and finally the Interconnector Greece – Bulgaria ( IGB), the construction of which is expected to start in the second half of 2018.
