Following the requirements of the European Union, Greece has changed its electricity
market over the last fifteen years from a state monopoly to a more liberalized and
competitive market.
This thesis examines the design, legal environment and early impacts of
the development of the Target Model and the establishment of the Hellenic Energy Exchange
in November 2020.
Based on secondary data, including Greek laws, EU regulations, market analysis and
academic research, the study uses a qualitative, policy-oriented methodology to critically
evaluate institutional and operational changes in the Greek electricity market.
