Coming from Kyriakos Mitsotakis at the opening of the Greek pavilion at the COP29 UN Climate Conference in Baku, Azerbaijan, he emphasized that “the first message I would like to give to the world is that Greece has a leading position in the energy transformation and this certainly creates several investment opportunities in the country”.
50% of our energy from RES
The prime minister went on to mention, among other things, that “the minister previously reminded me that we attended the COP together in 2007. At that time, when we were in Bali, Greece produced most of its energy from fossil fuels. But we managed to cut this by 45% by moving to renewable energy sources. 50% of our energy now comes from renewable sources and I hope that in the coming years this transformation will create further opportunities for investment.
“Blessed Greece”
Of course, this is also helped by our geography. Greece is blessed because it has a geography that allows it to take advantage of renewable energy sources. And of course we also focus on the export of energy which now changes our traditional if you want attitude or position as a net importer of energy[…]».
“The second point I would like to emphasize is the green transformation. The Minister has already emphasized that we know very well that the climate crisis is a fact. At the moment this means we will have to strike a balance between the goals of short-term adjustment and long-term mitigation[…] “among others, Mr. Mitsotakis.
