US Assistant Secretary of State for Energy Resources, Geoffrey Pyatt, praises Greece's significant contributions to energy security and transition. The Vertical Corridor gas project, connecting gas systems of multiple European countries, is seen as crucial for regional energy security. Emphasis is placed on Greece's decoupling from Russian energy supplies and its focus on renewable energy sources like wind, solar, and clean hydrogen. Pyatt commends the US participation in the REPowerEU summit held in Athens, recognizing Greece as a leader in energy diversification. The Floating Storage Regasification Unit in Alexandroupoli is highlighted as a transformative project, involving neighboring countries like Bulgaria and Serbia for energy independence. Additionally, Pyatt discusses Greece's potential role in reconstruction initiatives in Gaza, particularly in energy-related projects, and the country's digital economy supported by US tech investments.
