Fewer Greek consumers switched electricity providers last year

Fewer Greek consumers switched electricity providers last year, according to a report by the European regulator ACER. The percentage dropped to 6% from 9.8% the previous year. The report also revealed a significant increase in smart meter adoption, rising from 1% in 2023 to 12% last year. Meanwhile, industrial consumers showed more activity, with a 40% increase in switching. ACER noted the need for better monitoring of the retail market and highlighted that the low smart meter penetration limits consumer information. Regulated "green" tariffs were popular, but fixed-rate "blue" tariffs are gaining ground.
