Greece: Electricity Price Up 189% in 12 MonthsAverage electricity price in the Energy Exchange rose to 134.73 euros/MWh in September, from 121.72 euros/MWh in August and 46.6 euros/MWh in September 2020, the Energy Exchange said in a report. This increase represents a 189 pct jump in 12 months, a fact attributed mainly to a jump in natural gas prices and CO2 emission rights.
Greece’s fire-ravaged island now racing to build flood defensesIn a scorched landscape on the Greek island of Evia, crews of workers chop burnt pine trees, all that’s left from devastating summer wildfires, to set up wooden flood barriers.Walking on a thick carpet of ash and with the smell of smoke still lingering, they are racing against time to bolster defenses before the autumn rains which threaten to flood coastal villages.The vegetation which would normally absorb the rainfall and reduce runoff has been burnt and the soil might not be able to stop rain water from reaching seaside settlements.
