`APPENDIX-II
`
`EXPERIENCE IN ENERGY POLICY AND ADMINISTRATION
`
` Professor Kostas Mathioudakis has extensive experience in the energy field, addressing
`and managing energy security, climate change, regulatory and economic development
`issues, both within a domestic/EU as well as an international context. He has a
`demonstrated record of success in getting initiatives off the ground and leading them to
`fruition.
`He was instrumental in setting up the Ministry of Environment, Energy and Climate
`Change (MEECC) of the Hellenic Republic7, ensuring its development as well as the
`administrative and policy cohesiveness between energy, environmental and climate change
`policies. In doing so, he skillfully directed and managed fundamental administrative
`reforms, demonstrating creative leadership, impressive problem-solving and decision–
`making skills, coupled with a deep understanding for formulating complementing and
`cohesive policies in these fields. As a result, this integrated new Ministry has effectively
`contributed to Greece’s modernization and transition towards a lower carbon economy, in
`accordance with the EU’s strategy and international best practice.
`Professor Mathioudakis took up his tenure as Secretary-General at a critical time for the
`Greek economy; Reforms of the energy sector were urgently required in order to develop
`the prerequisites for more secure, competitively priced and affordable energy for
`households and businesses. Convinced of the importance of market principles, he provided
`strong leadership in promoting and implementing the necessary reforms. Under his
`guidance these have led to a more open, competitive and liberalized market, with reduced
`bureaucratic procedures to facilitate investments.
`He had an active involvement in the transposition of the EU’s 3rd Energy Package into
`national legislation in 2011, through which Greece became one of the first Member-States
`to adopt the Package. This landmark legislation included, inter-alia, provisions for
`unbundling both the Gas and Electricity System Operators from the vertically integrated
`companies and enhancing the role of the independent regulator regarding security of
`supply, licensing, monitoring of the market and consumer protection.
`Regarding natural gas, he has driven to achieve a more diversified regional market with
`more gas-to-gas competition and the conditions for a more prominent role for hub-pricing.
`Towards this goal, he was instrumental in the adoption of legislation which effectively
`opened up the domestic market, including the 2010 «National Gas Transmission System
`Management Code”, which notably achieved open access to the LNG regasification terminal
`
`
`
`Energy Sector Reforms
`
`
`7The MEECC was formed as part of the Government re-structuring introduced after the October 2009 elections. A
`new Secretariat General for Energy and Climate Change was formed and he was the first Secretary General
`appointed to head it.

`in Revithousa. He is currently involved in the preparation of legislation for liberalizing the
`Retail Gas Market in Greece, which will shortly be tabled to Parliament.
`Regarding oil, he was involved in the introduction of primary and secondary legislation
`concerning oil stocks and reforms of the retail oil market. In upstream oil activities, he
`played a key role in the enactment of the legislative reforms introduced in 2011, while he
`was involved in designing and executing tenders for geophysical surveys and granting
`concessions for exploration and exploitation. As a result of his hands-on involvement and
`collaboration with leading international firms, he has gained valuable insights in this
`dynamic sector.
`Strongly advocating a climate change strategy that balances ambitious targets with the
`need to ensure viable economic development, Professor Mathioudakis played a key role in
`the adoption by Parliament in 2010 of major legislation for Renewable Energy Sources.
`This introduced ambitious targets and innovative measures for investors, and its
`significance was duly lauded in the IEA’s Greece-2011 Energy Policy Review. Under
`successive administrations to date, he has continued to take initiatives to promote and
`further adapt the respective framework through legislative interventions, in accordance
`with developments in this sector’s fast changing landscape. His team has designed the
`framework for performing the auctions of Greece’s Emissions Allowances in 2011.
`In the energy efficiency field, he has coordinated and overseen the design and
`implementation of a series of measures, notably concerning the energy characteristics of
`buildings and the launch of support programs for energy efficiency interventions in
`municipalities and households.
`He has taken an active role in designing and implementing the Greek Energy Sector’s
`privatization program. The privatization of the Gas Transmission System Operator DESFA
`is in the final stage of completion, while privatization of the Electricity Transmission
`System Operator ADMIE and part of the incumbent Public Power Corporation is under
`way. Professor Mathioudakis heads the Ministry’s technical team responsible for structural
`Energy reforms, as specified in the “Memoranda of Understanding on Specific Economic
`Policy Conditionality” and the “Economic Adjustment Programme for Greece” from 2010
`onwards8. A long series of provisions have already been successfully implemented.
`
`As Secretary-General he had a decisive involvement in the design, preparation and
`adoption of primary and secondary legislation9 for the Energy sector. During his tenure,
`key legislation has been adopted, including, in chronological order:
`1. Law 3851 of June 2010, introducing a flexible framework for Renewable Energy
`Sources and further adjustments to the market through Laws 4093 (Nov 2012),
`4203(Nov 2013), 4254(Apr 2014).

`National Strategic Reference Framework 2007-13.
`Regarding climate/energy policies, he has been chairing the Ministerial Committee
`managing the “Saving Energy at Home” program launched in 2010, one of the most
`successful energy efficiency programs implemented. It is supported by the “Savings at
`Home Fund”, financed by the EU’s structural funds, with the participation of private banks.
`He proved instrumental in designing the program, setting up the fund and obtaining the
`participation of the banking sector. He successfully headed the Government’s team in the
`respective negotiations with the banks.
`He led his team’s work on performing Greece’s emissions allowances auctions (EUA)

`assessments and technical, economic and legal negotiations. A bidder was selected and a
`contract was negotiated and signed in October 2012.The project was then successfully
`completed and provided the data for Greece’s 2nd Open Door round, for 20 blocks in the

`Within the same framework, he chaired another tender evaluation committee, which
`fruitfully completed the selection of bidders for the “Open Door Invitation for granting and
`using authorizations for the exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbons”, in three areas
`(off-shore Patraikos Gulf, Western Katakolo and on-shore Ioannina)11. A diligent selection
`process resulted in the selection of bidders and contracts were signed in May 2014.
`His managerial skills have also been proven and tested in his work regarding crisis-
`prevention and crisis-management. He coordinated MEECC’s response to an emergency in
`January 2012, when a small scale disruption of gas supply to Greece occurred. He also

`nation-wide strikes of the Worker’s Union of the Public Power Corporation, in May 2011
`and July 2014. He directed the team that prepared the natural gas “Stress Test” requested
`by the European Commission in the summer of 2014, in view of possible supply
`disruptions in the winter of 2014-15, and managed preparations for safeguarding security
`of supply in case of such an event.

`2014 Presidency of the EU Council, during which the Ministry of Energy presided over the
`EU Energy Council, successfully organizing a number of meetings and events. This led,
`inter alia, to the adoption of Conclusions on “Energy prices and costs, pr
