Cover Story: This study employs input–output analysis to estimate the direct, indirect, and induced effects of green transition in Greece on output, value added, employment, and imports, from 2025 to 2050. Two scenarios are considered: the former, based on the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), is driven by a large-scale exploitation of RES and technologies promoting electrification of final demand, while the latter (deriver by the CLEVER project) prioritizes energy sufficiency and efficiency measures. In the NECP scenario, GDP increases by 3–10% (relative to 2023), and employment increases by 4–11%. The CLEVER scenario yields smaller direct effects—owing to lower investment levels—but larger induced impacts, since energy savings boost household disposable income. Increasing import-substitution rates in key manufacturing sectors amplifies the domestic economic benefits of the transition. View this paper
