Investments in Critical Infrastructure Amid Rising External Threats

On June 15, 2026, Manousakis of ADMIE announced that new funds will accelerate key domestic electricity interconnection projects in Greece, particularly in the Dodecanese and North Aegean regions. This funding, sourced from the Recovery and Resilience Facility, reflects confidence from the Greek state in ADMIE. The ongoing war in Ukraine and tensions with Iran have highlighted vulnerabilities in energy networks, prompting a focus on resilience investments. A General Secretariat for Critical Infrastructure has been established to plan necessary investments for safeguarding Greece's electricity system. Manousakis emphasized the need for government support to streamline project procedures, which often face delays. He also noted Greece's success in renewable energy and the importance of developing energy storage capacity to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.

Key Points: • New funds will accelerate electricity interconnection projects in Greece. • The establishment of a General Secretariat for Critical Infrastructure aims to enhance energy security. • Government support is crucial for overcoming delays in grid development projects.
