Greece has been a pure exporting country in electricity to neighboring countries in February 2025.

This is stated in a statement regarding the observations of the monthly Energy Analysis Bulletin of the SE Europe Institute (IENE) released yesterday.

Another finding concerns the limited relative involvement of RES in the power mix, which reached 37%, and if the water participation (hydroelectric projects) are added, the overall participation of renewable energy is 40%, but it is far from the high rates of 20.

The timely observations of the IENE Bulletin on February are summarized as follows:

– The use of natural gas in electricity production appears in February 2025, covering 55% of the fuel mixture, compared to the previous month to 52%. Also, gas production from gas and RES in February amounted to 2,573,159 MWh and 1,727,419 MWh respectively, while lignite reached 245,632 MWh.

– The fuel mixture in power generation last February was characterized by strong gas participation, followed by RES, contributing to 55% and 37% respectively.

It is noteworthy that the gas share in the Greek fuel mixture increased by 21% compared to February 2024, while the RES contribution decreased by 9%. Specifically, gas share in February 2025 was at 55%, from 34% in February 2024, while the share of RES respectively stood at 37% last February from 46% in February 2024, changes attributed mainly to the weather.

– Rising of electricity and gas prices in Greece. In particular, the average TEA in February 2025 appeared by 14% compared to last January and stood at 154.09 euros/MWh, while increased by 109% compared to February 2024. In the upward orbit prices of the Greek gas marketing of the Hellenic Gas Port. It stands at 56.7 euros/MWh from 45.4 euros/MWh in January 2025.

– As for energy demand, it stood at 4,433,624 MWh in February 2025, moving downwards after three consecutive months of upward.

– The average daily electricity electricity of Greece in February 2025 reached 11,665 MWh, while the monthly importing electricity of imports at 326,610 MWh, recording reduced imports compared to January 2025. Similarly, the average daily electricity of Greece’s exports of Greece in February 2025. 26,037 MWh, while the monthly export electricity of 729,036 MWh, recording reduced exports compared to January 2025. According to the above, Greece was a net exporting country to electricity to neighboring countries in February 2025, with total net imports of -4026 mWh.

– Greece’s total gas imports for February 2025 amounted to 7.9 TWH, unchanged on a monthly basis and increased by 61% compared to February last year.

– The contribution of LNG imports, through the two most entry points in the country (Agia Triada and Amphitrite), stood at 46% of total gas imports last February, with the remaining 40% coming from the Gate of Sidirokastro (14%).
