What happened
Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis announced a new €95 million electricity subsidy for industrial sectors during a meeting with the Hellenic Federation of Enterprises. This subsidy, which covers sectors including cement, food, paper, and plastics, is part of a larger €300 million industrial support package. Mitsotakis also asked the European Commission to consider a common, time-limited response across Europe.

Why it matters
The intervention aims to counter industry complaints that high energy costs are eroding competitiveness in Greece. Mitsotakis highlighted Greece's falling debt and budget surpluses as factors allowing the government to cushion fuel prices. The request to the European Commission seeks a bloc-wide mechanism for energy relief.
