Country Analysis Brief
  • Greece has limited domestic energy resources, but it could develop into an important regional transit hub.
  • Greece has almost no domestic oil production and imports most of its oil from Iran, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Libya and Kazakhstan.
  • Greece imports most of its natural gas from Russia but is trying to lessen its dependency by becoming a regional transit hub for natural gas from the Caspian Sea.
  • Greece will likely benefit from greater electricity connections with its neighbors.
