Foresight for Energy Policy: Techniques and Methods Employed in Greece

Robust strategic planning is considered crucial for the sustainability of the Greek energy sector, especially within the current highly volatile international environment. The application of multi-stakeholder foresight approaches facilitates the familiarization of key energy market players with the energy policy decision-making process. In this respect, aim of this article is the presentation of main foresight activities in Greece, the discussion of critical issues and lessons learnt and the identification of objectives, methodological potentials and concepts of participation.
