heal.abstract
Within the context of financial crisis in Greece, the Greek Parliament enacted Law
4093/2012 and Law 4254/2014 that introduce a new legal framework for energy
production from Renewable Energy Sources. More precisely, the following analysis
presents the transition from the defunct generous feed in tariff regime to the “special
solidarity levy” and the “New Deal”. The aim is to prove the incompatibility with EU
law and EU energy policy and the indispensable need for an energy shift to green
energy. The final evaluation launches to highlight the paramount importance of a
coherent energy policy that will indisputably pave the way for the encouragement of
new investments and the boost of renewable energy production.
