The study assesses the consistency of the NECP 2024 with the European acquis (RED III, EED,
EPBD, EU ETS, CBAM) and captures the "implementation gap" between target setting and
implementation rate. Using a methodology of comparative policy analysis and the use of Eurostat
indicators (2014–2023) for GDP per capita, final consumption, share of RES and energy
dependency, four critical lags are identified: (a) saturation of transmission/distribution networks,
(b) insufficient capacity and operational maturity of storage, (c) early phase of the green PPA/GoO
market, (d) low rate of building renovations. Despite the significant increase in the share of RES
in Greece (≈25.3% in 2023) and the decrease in final consumption, the high energy dependence
and the shortfall in GDP/cat. burden transition costs and social cohesion.
The article proposes a coherent plan 2025–2030: delineation of go-to areas and fast-track licensing,
targeted network upgrades, storage tenders for ≥4.3 GW orbit, fully operational PPA/GoO
platform, universal deployment of smart meter/dynamic pricing, and demand response
enablement. For industry, a package of green PPAs and CCfDs, green hydrogen hubs and a targeted
CCUS are proposed; waste cycle, universal separate collection of bio-waste and CH₄ recovery; in
LULUCF, fire prevention and rehabilitation. Governance is structured around a limited set of KPIs
and auto-correction rules, while the social dimension is ensured through tiered pricing, energy
communities, and participatory performance schemes. In conclusion, with a targeted execution of
2025–2026, the 2030 targets are achievable while reducing energy costs and enhancing
competitiveness.
