At COP29 in Baku, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis highlighted Greece’s leadership in energy transformation, with 50% of the country’s energy now sourced from renewables.

Mitsotakis also stressed the need to balance short-term climate adaptation with long-term mitigation efforts as part of Greece’s commitment to addressing the climate crisis.
The Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator (HEDNO) has proposed a significant increase in penalties for electricity theft, suggesting that offenders be charged double the current market price for stolen energy.
