ENERGY INDEPENDENCE – NATIONAL SOVEREIGNTY – ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Energy is a fundamental pillar of national sovereignty, economic progress, and geopolitical freedom. Greece cannot afford to remain dependent on imported energy while possessing vast untapped potential in domestic energy resources.
We declare the urgent need for a National Energy Strategy, based on security, self-sufficiency, and sustainable exploitation of our natural wealth—free from ideological constraints that hinder development.
🔰 ENERGY POLICY DRIVEN BY NATIONAL INTEREST
- ✔ Immediate exploitation of hydrocarbons in the Ionian Sea, Crete, and the Aegean.
- ✔ Full energy self-sufficiency within 15 years through Greek energy sources.
- ✔ Reduction of energy costs for households and businesses.
- ✔ Establish Greece as an energy hub for Europe via strategic alliances.
- ✔ Ensure environmental balance using modern ecological management technologies.
⚙️ PILLARS OF THE NEW ENERGY STRATEGY
1. HYDROCARBON EXPLOITATION – NATIONAL SELF-SUFFICIENCY
- ✔ Accelerate exploration and extraction in strategic energy fields.
- ✔ Partner with major international energy firms for safe and efficient operations.
- ✔ Strategic alliance with Cyprus, Israel, and Egypt for joint energy development.
- ✔ Establish a National Hydrocarbon Fund to allocate revenues to citizens.
2. DEVELOPMENT OF A MODERN GREEK ENERGY NETWORK
- ✔ Complete the EastMed Pipeline to supply Europe with Greek natural gas.
- ✔ Build new LNG terminals and upgrade critical infrastructure.
- ✔ Strengthen strategic partnerships across the Mediterranean and Balkans.
3. SUPPORT FOR GREEK INDUSTRY WITH CHEAP ENERGY
- ✔ Reduce industrial energy costs to boost competitiveness.
- ✔ Offer tax incentives for industries using Greek energy sources.
- ✔ Abolish counterproductive “green” taxes that inflate production costs.
4. ENVIRONMENTAL BALANCE – TECHNOLOGY IN ENERGY
- ✔ Enforce strict environmental standards in extraction sites.
- ✔ Restore exploited areas through reclamation programs.
- ✔ Invest in carbon capture, storage, and clean energy tech innovations.
🟫 LIGNITE AS A PILLAR OF ENERGY SOVEREIGNTY
Lignite is a strategic national resource. Abandoning it leads to dependency and economic vulnerability.
- ✔ Restore lignite use with modern, clean technologies.
- ✔ Ensure reliable energy for citizens and businesses.
- ✔ Exploit all available domestic energy sources (hydrocarbons, renewables, lignite).
- ✔ Shield Greece from international energy crises and speculative pressure.
🌍 OUR VISION: ENERGY-STRONG GREECE
Greece can and must become energy autonomous and a global player on the energy map. This is not just an economic priority—it’s a matter of national security and sovereignty.
- ✔ Strategic roadmap to full energy independence.
- ✔ Affordable energy for a thriving industry and strong households.
- ✔ Fair distribution of natural wealth for the benefit of the Greek people.
- ✔ Total rejection of foreign energy dependency.
- ✔ Greece must not submit—it must harness its natural power.
OUR ENERGY INDEPENDENCE IS NON-NEGOTIABLE!
