At the heart of developments

In its relevant announcement, RAE emphasizes:

“In a critical period for energy issues, where the role of the Mediterranean for energy security in Europe is increasing, and where regulatory requirements play an important role in the development of critical electricity, natural gas and renewable energy corridors between North Africa, the Middle East and Europe, the Energy Regulatory Authority makes sure to be at the center of developments and decisions defending the interests of consumers and the optimal functioning of the market even in the bilateral and multilateral relations of Greece in the critical field of energy regulation.
