International Energy Agency praises Greece for its response to energy crisisIEA also commended Greece for its National Climate Law, which sets ambitious decade-by-decade targets for bringing down greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050

Greece is to be commended for its response to the global energy crisis triggered by Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the International Energy Agency (IEA) said in a report released on Thursday, ANA reports.

Greece has made notable progress towards meeting these goals, including significantly reducing the share of lignite in its power mix, and setting a binding target to end the use of lignite for electricity generation by 2028. At the same time, Greece has taken clear steps to ensure a just transition in its lignite-mining regions, the report noted. Despite these successes, challenges remain - fossil fuels still account for most of Greece’s energy supply, and stronger efforts are needed on energy efficiency, the Agency said.
