The Saudi crown prince offered to connect Greece to the kingdom's electricity grid in order to provide Europe with 'cheaper green energy' Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MbS) traveled to Greece on 26 July on his first trip outside of West Asia since 2019. Following a meeting with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, the two oversaw the signing of several investment, technology, military, economic, and security agreements. They also discussed the possibility of connecting Greece to an electrical grid that would provide southern and western Europe with cheaper green energy, revealing that efforts are underway to transform Greece into "a hydrogen hub in Europe."
"Linking the grid of electricity … we can provide Greece and southwest Europe through Greece with much cheaper renewable energy," MbS said, sitting alongside Mitsotakis. For his part, the Greek premier hailed the crown prince's visit as an opportunity to "further cement this important relationship between our two countries, placing particular emphasis on economic cooperation." by News Desk
