Energy.
Where our energy comes from. How electricity is produced.
Improving
A favourable change under this indicator’s stated rule, compared with the same period one year earlier.
Lower unemployment or debt/GDP is positive. Higher employment or a smaller trade deficit is also positive.
Green does not always mean the number increased.
Worsening
An unfavourable change under this indicator’s stated rule, compared with the same period one year earlier.
Higher unemployment or debt/GDP is negative. Inflation moving further from the dashboard’s 2% reference is also negative.
Red describes the observed change, not its cause or the country’s overall condition.
Unchanged / context needed
No improvement or deterioration is assigned. The value may be unchanged, its meaning ambiguous, or the comparison unavailable or delayed.
Imports can rise because of demand or investment, so they remain neutral. Missing or delayed comparisons also remain neutral.
Neutral does not mean good, bad, or zero.
Energy includes fuels, heating, transport and electricity. Electricity generation is only one part of the picture. Each indicator keeps its own denominator and reporting year.
Energy at a glance

Renewables and import dependency
EU-27 comparisons use the Greek reporting year. Renewable shares follow official accounting rules and are not simply the renewable share of domestic generation. Renewable energy quantities are not connected here; import and export quantities appear below.
Electricity production over time
What produces our electricity?
Selected fuel groups, same year. Shares are calculated against gross domestic generation; minor sources may be outside these groups. Imports are excluded. GWh measures energy produced, not installed capacity.
Beyond electricity
Reading the energy figures
The official renewable electricity share uses consumption and normalised wind and hydro output. It will differ from the raw renewable share of domestic generation in the table.
More renewables do not automatically mean cheaper bills. Lower import dependency does not by itself prove secure supply. Generation volumes receive a neutral interpretation because demand, exports and the fuel mix also matter.

What households pay for energy
Euro per kWh, including taxes. S1 means January–June; S2 means July–December. Prices refer to the stated annual consumption band.
Greece and EU-27: same half-year, consumption band and tax basis. Final consumer prices can reflect government support; these are not prices before subsidies or production costs.
Electricity price components
Annual household electricity prices: energy and supply, network costs, and net taxes and levies. Net taxes already include reported allowances; do not add subsidies again. Each indicator shows its latest published year.
Electricity price and public support
Annual breakdown, same year and consumption band. Before support means adding back reported allowances, with VAT unchanged. It is not production cost. Missing subsidies are never treated as zero.
Latest comparable support breakdown: 2024. The 2025 allowance has a different sign in the source and is not used for a before-support reconstruction pending clarification.
Energy quantities behind import dependency
Net imports = imports minus exports. Import dependency = net imports / gross available energy. All values use thousand tonnes of oil equivalent, a common energy unit rather than physical oil tonnage. This is all energy, not just electricity.
Where energy is used
Final consumption for energy use, all energy products. Homes exclude private transport, which belongs to transport. Transport covers domestic transport activities, including domestic aviation. Industry excludes energy transformation and non-energy feedstocks. The total includes all listed sectors; do not add the total to its parts.
Quantities are in thousand tonnes of oil equivalent. Lower consumption can reflect efficiency, weather or reduced activity; it is not automatically an improvement. EU totals describe a much larger population and economy.
Energy used in homes by fuel
Final household energy consumption by fuel, excluding private transport. Electricity includes all generation sources; petroleum products exclude their biofuel portion. These three fuels are only part of household energy use, not a complete mix. Quantities in thousand tonnes of oil equivalent, not bills or physical fuel tonnes.
