The scope of the present thesis is to address the wider present and future energy field of Greece, exploring at the same time the international developments around the energy and post-lignite transition. European Union aims to disengage from fossil fuels, with the ultimate goal to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. The study outlines the current energy situation of Greece, analyzing each energy source of the energy mix separately. Every existing energy infrastructure as well as the existing electricity transmission network are presented. There is an extensive analysis of carbon use globally, emphasizing on the European continent, as well as the EU's energy and climate policies, the so-called European Green Deal. Data of the future energy demands and the evolution of the power generation capacity is demonstrated, along with various infrastructure projects that aim to transform the energy landscape of Greece. The study draws conclusions, concerns and perspectives regarding the feasibility of meeting the goals set around the green transition and the future of Greece’s energy sector.
