Transport and households accounted for 65% of final
energy consumption. Gas has been entering the market in
recent years and is, thus far, directed mainly to the power
sector [24]. The electricity demand in Greece is covered
by utilization of existing lignite, imported natural gas and
diesel oil, renewable that include wind, solar and hydropower,
and also some direct imports of electricity. Table 3
present these basic figures [25]. In this table, it is shown
that a significant part, almost 37%, of the electricity consumption
in Greece is covered by imported fuels. Here,
it must be noticed that the Hellenic lignite presents low
calorific values, and there are imports of coal to improve
the quality of the fuel. These imports were estimated to be
0.6 Mt with an average cost for 2012 of 95 €/MWh [26,
27].
