Greek court officials plan to release 40 million euros ($50 million) in emergency funds to provide liquidity to the country's cash-strapped energy system and help avert a looming power crisis, a court official said on Tuesday.
The funds, belonging to Greek energy suppliers that went out of business earlier this year, had been frozen as part of a judicial investigation.
"Part of the money
will be used to pay electricity producers... because there is a risk of
electricity disruptions in the coming days," a court official who declined
to be named told Reuters.
