State-controlled Public Power Corporation (PPC) has seen its retail electricity market share climb to 52.79% in June, its highest share since the beginning of the year, recovering from an unprecedented drop to below 50% (48.82%) in April. PPC’s rebound follows a high of 72.77% in January and is attributed to gains in the low and medium-voltage categories, as reported by Greek electricity transmission system operator ADMIE. This rebound coincided with a decrease in PPC’s market share in the high-voltage category.
