This is an especially challenging period for Europe’s energy security. Security of supply is certainly not a new issue for European governments and stakeholders. However, global events and most notably the situation in Ukraine have added a new dimension and increasing Europe’s resilience is now regarded as urgent. Greece has assumed a key role in the EU’s long term strategy to increase energy security, through strategies for diversification.

By virtue of its position, Greece is contributing to the opening of the Southern Corridor and is well prepared to transit gas from the Caspian, the Middle East and the Eastern Mediterranean to Europe through TAP, IGI Poseidon and the proposed Eastern Mediterranean pipelines, as well as to make available LNG supplies to the Balkans through the Aegean LNG and IGB Systems.
