Aktor CEO Alexandros Exarchou said on Thursday that major liquefied natural gas (LNG) agreements involving the newly established ATLANTIC – SEE LNG TRADE S.A. (AS LNG) will be unveiled within 36 hours — deals he described as nationally significant for Greece’s energy future.
Speaking at the 6th OT Forum in Athens, Exarchou explained that the forthcoming announcements concern international producers and non-Greek buyers, underscoring the export-oriented mission of AS LNG, the joint venture formed two days ago by Aktor and DEPA Commercial. “By tomorrow afternoon, there will be announcements that will make clear what we are building here,” he said, noting that as a listed company Aktor cannot yet disclose further details.
AS LNG aims to import LNG into Greece and resell it across Southeast Europe, positioning the country as a logistics and trading hub for natural gas. Exarchou serves as CEO of the new venture and as chairman and CEO of Aktor Group.
He called the upcoming deals “agreements of national importance,” tying them to Greece’s evolving role in transatlantic energy cooperation. Referring to global shifts in supply routes, he noted that from 2028 the Turkish pipeline corridor will lose much of its relevance, making Greece’s location increasingly strategic.
“Greece will have special significance for both Europe and the world, because it will be the point through which American gas is delivered into Europe,” he said. “That carries enormous economic and political weight.”
Exarchou praised the government’s quick response to the changing energy landscape, saying Greece had “seized a unique opportunity” created by geopolitical realignments.
He linked the upcoming announcements to the Partnership for Transatlantic Energy Cooperation (P-TEC) meetings also taking place in Athens this week, attended by U.S. and European officials and energy executives.
Beyond LNG, Exarchou spoke about Aktor’s broader transformation from a construction leader into a diversified energy and infrastructure group. While construction remains central, he said, new investments in energy and finance aim to stabilize future earnings.
He did not rule out eventually listing the energy arm on the stock exchange, signaling confidence in its growth potential.
Reflecting on Greece’s broader progress, Exarchou said the country’s recovery over the past decade has been “remarkable.” “It may be a small or a big miracle,” he said, “but it’s no coincidence that so many U.S. companies are now coming to Athens to sign deals.”
