PPC shares show recovery trends during the five months of the energy crisis.
More specifically, according to the monthly report issued by the Hellenic Energy Exchange, the public company was found in January to hold 64.5% of the total electricity supply. This percentage is higher by about 2 percentage points compared to September 2021 when the rally of price increases in energy began.
According to market participants, this increase is attributed to a small wave of return of its customers, who had moved to its competitors in the previous months. PPC with the additional discount it provided on the electricity bills of its customers but also with the availability of the cheapest on the market until the end of last November, a program of fixed charging (without adjustment clause) of electricity consumption stung… consumers.

According to the data of the Hellenic Energy Exchange, the independent electricity providers in January represented 35.5% of the total consumption load.
Their share in relation to September in the month in which prices rose steeply held 37.38%. This loss as mentioned above was reaped by the public company.
