Greece reacts as energy prices skyrocket across Europe
Energy prices in Europe have skyrocketed as economies emerge from the pandemic, boosting demand just as supplies are falling short. Even with mild weather in September, gas and electricity prices were breaking records day after day across the continent, with no relief in sight.

Georgia Nakou joins The Greek Current to discuss why Europe and Greece are seeing energy prices skyrocket, look at the reaction from the Greek government, and explore how this could affect Greece’s green transition strategy.
