Greece halts energy privatisations, cozies up to Russia
by Kostis Geropoulos ATHENS - The new Greek government will not proceed with any energy privatisations, Greece’s new Production Reconstruction, Environment and Energy Minister Panagiotis Lafazanis, said during a crowded handover ceremony on January 28 in Athens. “I’m talking about privatisations that are in process. There is no privatisation that will move forward in the field of energy,” he said, eluding a question about Greek natural gas grid operator DESFA that was sold to Azerbaijan’s SOCAR pending EU approval. “We will support public companies as public companies and we will try to change their orientation. We will work more efficiently, more productively towards the social interest, towards the productive interest of the country and especially help the general reconstruction and exit from the crisis.” Lafazanis, however, made it crystal clear that the planned privatization of Greece’s biggest power producer PPC, electricity grid operator ADMIE, and Hellenic Petroleum would be halted. Signaling a change in regional energy politics, Lafazanis also slammed yesterday’s Statement of Heads of State and Government of the EU “that criticised Russia using Cold War rhetoric and prepared the ground for fresh sanctions”. “We don’t want decisions to be taken in absentia,” he said, accusing the EU of taking advantage of the government changeover in Greece to issue the statement without consulting Athens. “This example is important because it’s connected to the domestic and international energy relations of our country. The international energy relations of our country will become multi-leveled and multi-facetted,” he said. “We will not be anyone’s satellite. Greece in its international energy relations – this is not addressed to anyone – will move exclusively taking into account its national interest, the public interest, the development interest of the country, the popular interest,” he said. Lafazanis also stressed the importance of developing Greece’s renewable energy sector, including photovoltaic, and pledged to help support especially the small renewable energy producers.

Net Metering Decision Encourages Households to Install Photovoltaic Systems
Greek households will be able to offset electricity cost by installing photovoltaic systems and provide electricity both to themselves and to the power grid, according to a decision signed on Tuesday by Deputy Environment, Greece ‘s Energy and Climate Change Minister Assimakis Papageorgiou. The offsetting system, known as “net metering,” allows households and companies who produce their own electricity through photovoltaics to share it with the local utility company that then credits them for it against the cost of electricity it provides to them. A meter will measure both the energy consumed by the producer — e.g. a household — and that provided to the utility grid. For a household, the bill issued every four months will factor in incoming and outgoing energy; if the incoming energy is greater, the household pays the difference, if it is the lesser of the two, the household will be credited for the next four-month cycle. A final statement will be issued at the end of the year, after which any surplus will not be carried over. Installations will not have to be on roofs only, and self-producing energy consumers will pay a fee only for the electric energy they consume from the power grid or the system. “The introduction of net metering allows many consumers — small and larger, householders and SMEs — to reduce significantly their energy cost,” Papageorgiou said, “while it pushes local economies to move to this immediate solution of establishing small photovoltaic systems with great benefits, without affecting costs for the rest of the consumers.” (source: ana-mpa)

Ministry of Energy Promotes Electric Cars
The Greek government with a new legislative amendment aims to promote the use of electric cars in Greece. The amendment will regulate the operation of recharging facilities. The Environment and Energy Minister Yiannis Maniatis believes that the use of electric cars will benefit the Greek economy. The first phase of the program, which will be supervised by a special committee set up at the ministry’s General Secretariat for Energy, foresees an integrated “Network of Electric Mobility” operating in pilot form. Besides coordinating all the various parties involved, the committee will also be responsible for the public information campaign. Electric mobility in Greece is not as developed as in the rest of the EU countries, with just 25 exclusively electric cars currently in circulation. According to the experts, electric vehicles can cover 100 kilometers in the city on just 90 cents, compared to even the most economical gas-powered cars, which would require 3 to 3.50 euros to cover the same distance. Electric car use in Greece remains low because of the absence of succinct legislation and the luxury tax on electric vehicles that has significantly increased their cost. Meanwhile, the clause concerning the installation of electric vehicle charging stations was introduced to legislation just this January. According to the recent amendment, charging stations will not need a special license for supplying electrical energy. Instead, they will be categorized as final consumers with the right to resell power as a service. According to EU directives, Greece should have 13,000 electric vehicle charging stations by the end of 2020.
