“Over the next 12 months, we will allocate almost 6 billion euros to support professionals, businesses and households,” said Environment and Energy Minister Costas Skrekas at the General Assembly of the Association of Industries of Thessaly and Central Greece in Volos.
The Minister of Environment and Energy, Costas Skrekas, was in Volos on Saturday night, invited by the General Assembly of the Association of Industries of Thessaly and Central Greece, where his new administration is also elected.
Mr. Skrekas referred to the difficult period that all societies are going through due to the times and especially the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the programs implemented by the government to help households cope with the difficulties they face.
The Minister of Environment and Energy characteristically stated that “we return 60% of the excessive energy costs and put a real ceiling so that the energy costs have a limit. At the same time, Greece is the only country in Europe that subsidizes businesses directly. Of course, the problem is not solved, but we will succeed. Over the next 12 months, we will allocate almost 6 billion euros to support professionals, businesses and households. “Greece has so far spent 3.6% of GDP and we are the only country that has spent such an amount to support businesses and households.”
“But these,” he added, “are not a permanent solution. The permanent solution is an energy strategy with predictability. I will just tell you that we plan to solve a very important issue with renewable energy sources. Very soon we will bring a bill where HEDNO will give permission to individual households, farmers and small entrepreneurs, so that they have the opportunity to produce energy up to 10 kilowatts, with a simple notification to HEDNO “.
“Our country needs a strong and effective government to be strong and I believe that the current government did much better than much more developed and powerful western countries. We can continue this course and we will be by your side to move hand in hand to provide solutions “, underlined Mr. Skrekas.
The election of the new Board of Directors took place within the framework of the General Assembly. of SVTHSE where Thanasis Syrianos was elected new president by the Hellenic Atalantis Brewery (EZA).
