(ANSAmed) - ATHENS, 28 DIC - For the eighth day in a row, the
wholesale price of energy per Megawatt hour (MWh) is the highest
in Europe, at 239 on Wednesday.

"If we look at wholesale energy prices, while in Greece we are paying 239 euros, France, Belgium, and Germany are paying 50 euros," he said.
He added that, "in Greece we also have the costliest petrol and - after the subsidies brought in by the government on the basis of income - we are the third top country in terms of energy spending." After Greece, Italy and Malta - with a price of 175 euros per MWh - are the EU countries with the highest energy costs.
