The Public Power Corporation (PPC) “is on the brink” of a financial meltdown, Environment & Energy Minister Kostis Chatzidakis said on Friday in an interview to Parapolitika radio station, criticizing the previous government for its handling of the main power supplier of Greece.
According to the NOMEs (Nouvelle Organisation du Marche de l’Electricite) system, party of PPC’s energy production was supposed to be sold through auctions in order to reduce the company’s market share to 50 pct by 2020.
Other measures to bolster PPC include raising the price of electricity, he said but added that consumers would not feel it in their household bills because of reductions in VAT and in the special levy for reduced air emission of pollutants (ETMEAR) that appear on bills.
