and Gazprom Export Introducing Price Reduction
As a result of several months’ negotiations, on 25 February 2014 the business press reported that an agreement
was finally reached between DEPA, the main gas supplier in the Greek market, and one of its main suppliers from
abroad, Gazprom Export, introducing a reduction of the price of natural gas supply by 15 %, thereby approaching
the European average gas supply. Some days later, on 11 March 2014, DEPA published an official announcement
that the respective new supply contract was signed on that day, providing for the aforementioned priced reduction,
which shall apply retroactively from 1 July 2013, allowing for respective refunds by DEPA to its customers in
Greece. Although the exact content of the new contract was not made public, several -other than the price
reduction- favorable terms and conditions are said to have been included, such as an amendment to the conditions
for activation of the take-or-pay clauses. Through this new contract, the agreement between DEPA and Gazprom
Export for supply of Russian gas to Greece was extended for ten (10) further years.
