2nd Gas Supply Station in Elassona due to increased demand

The construction works of the 2nd supply station of the Municipality of Elassona in the Region of Thessaly begin in mid-November and are expected to be completed by the end of January 2021, in order to meet the growing demand of consumers.

The supply of the Municipality took place in 2019 and in less than 1.5 years, 17% of the population uses natural gas. The Company’s goal is the rapid increase of the penetration index until 2024, in order to cover 50% of the population.

By strengthening the supply of the distribution network of Elassona, food industries of the region will be able to join the distribution network, which are expected to increase the consumption of natural gas by ∽ 1,000,000 Nm3 per year. The transition to the use of natural gas leads to the reduction of energy costs and favors energy-intensive industries, offering them competitive advantages in the domestic and international market.

EDA THESS, by respecting the Distribution and Operation License of the network and aiming at the safe and uninterrupted supply of consumers, continues at a fast pace its 5-year investment program. By 2024, the Company will invest € 1.9 million in the Municipality of Elassona for the network’s development and new connections, in order to serve more and more consumers.
