"For another month, the effectiveness of the government's policy brings Greece among the countries with the cheapest retail electricity prices, throughout Europe" commented the Minister of Environment and Energy, Kostas Skrekas and added: "For many months, without interruption, according to HEPI's indisputable data, the price of electricity for Greek households remains at affordable levels, despite the long-term duration of the devastating war in Ukraine and the energy crisis it has triggered, with painful consequences for many European countries. The best response to the opposition's nihilistic criticism is given by independent institutions with pan-European prestige. Our government, true to its commitments to Greek citizens, will continue to support households, professionals and farmers for as long as the unprecedented energy crisis in Europe lasts."
