Germany's RWE and Greece's Public Power Corporation (PPC) have announced a joint venture called Meton Energy SA for the construction of a new photovoltaic project in Greece. The project, named Amyntaio PPC Mine, will be located in Western Macedonia on the site of the former Amyntaio lignite mine. The collaboration between RWE and PPC is part of Greece's efforts to transition to renewable energy sources and reduce its reliance on fossil fuels. The construction of the solar park, with an investment exceeding BGN 870,000, will contribute to the country's renewable energy targets and help in the fight against climate change. The project is expected to start operating by the end of 2025 [c61a272c].
In addition to the solar park project, ERM West is also working on improving the electricity supply in the town of Dupnitsa, Bulgaria. The network reconstruction project aims to provide a more reliable electricity supply to over 8,000 customers. The project, which is being carried out by Electrohold Bulgaria, includes the replacement of three 20 kV cables and the reconstruction of the nodal distribution station 'Tsenevi' for over half a million BGN. The investment in the project exceeds BGN 870,000, and it is expected to be completed by the end of summer. The reconstruction will reduce power outages for customers in Dupnitsa [3cc5a400].
The collaboration between RWE and PPC in Greece's renewable energy sector is a significant step forward in the country's transition to clean and sustainable energy. The construction of the Amyntaio PPC Mine solar park, along with the network reconstruction project in Dupnitsa, showcases the commitment of both companies to invest in clean energy infrastructure and contribute to the global efforts to combat climate change. These projects will not only provide clean and renewable electricity but also contribute to the economic development of the regions. With construction set to begin soon, Greece and Bulgaria are on track to further enhance their renewable energy sectors and achieve their climate goals [c61a272c] [3cc5a400].
