The natural gas Greece uses, comes mainly from imports and enters the territory of Greece either as natural gas through high-pressure pipes or in liquefied form through tankers. Greece’s main natural gas suppliers are Russia, Algeria and Turkey, through the companies Gazprom-Export, Sonatrach and BOTAS, respectively. All works for expanding or fortifying the gas transmission system, or for promoting the use of natural gas in Greece, and any works implemented according to an approved development plan, are subject to the National Gas Transmission System (ESFA in Greek).
Gas arrives in Greece mainly through the central natural gas pipeline that extends from the Greek-Bulgarian borders to the area of Lavrio, in Attica. The main pipe constitutes the point of origin of the transmission branches supplying the regions of East Macedonia and Thrace, Thessaloniki, Platy of Imathia, Volos, Voiotia, Oinofyta, Attica and Corinth. The main pipeline and its transmission branches form the National Natural Gas Transmission System of Greece (ESMFA in Greek). ESMFA also comprises the metering and regulating natural gas stations, two bus supply stations located at Ano Liosia and Anthousa, the Control and Dispatching Centre, and the Operation and Maintenance Centres located in Attica, Thessaloniki, Thessaly and Xanthi. Natural gas arriving in Greece in liquefied form, mainly from Algeria, is directed to the island Revithousa, where it is stored in tanks and subsequently turned to natural gas in the unit’s special facilities in order to supply the National Gas Transmission System.

The natural gas market was liberated for residential consumers on 1/1/2018. As a result, more than 40 private entities and corporate groups currently hold licenses to supply natural gas. Supply companies procure natural gas mainly through the quarterly auctions held by the Greek Public Gas Company S.A. (find out more at https://www.depa.gr/). The HERON Group is one of the largest suppliers in Greece, and the first private supplier to anticipate the liberalisation of the Greek gas market, offering combined natural gas and electricity programmes since 2015. The HERON Group is also the first private supplier to provide natural gas at fixed rates and integrated services for new supply connections, handling all steps of the procedure for new user connections to the network from the beginning to the end.
