Greece is positioning itself for a larger role in the region’s
Greece is positioning itself for a larger role in the region’s natural gas trade as it prepares to host a high-level energy forum in Athens this week, where new partnerships for US liquefied natural gas (LNG) are expected to be announced.
The Partnership for Transatlantic Energy Cooperation (P-TEC) Ministerial and Business Forum, which will be held in Athens on November 6–7, brings together officials from the United States, 24 European countries, and the European Union. The forum is an initiative by Greece’s Minister of Environment and Energy Stavros Papastavrou and U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright, who will also meet with Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis during his visit.
The talks come at a challenging time for Europe as it finally begins to phase out Russian gas imports by 2028, thus creating demand for alternative sources. While Greece’s role remains limited compared with larger European players, it hopes to serve as a transit hub for US LNG flowing to Southeastern Europe.
U.S. Energy Players Arrive in Athens
Top American and international energy companies are attending the Athens forum, including Cheniere, ConocoPhillips, Venture Global LNG, Excelerate Energy, and LNG Allies. Representatives from ExxonMobil and Australia’s Woodside Energy are also taking part.
