The information campaign was attended by Mr. Ioannis Tsouknidas, Mayor of Chalkidona, Mr. Michalis Stergiopoulos, EDA THESS Manager of Network Development & New Connections, as well as Municipal Authority officials and EDA THESS executives.

Scope of the campaign was to inform public on gas network connection process and capture public interest; resulting to more than 300 applications being lodged just yesterday!

Moreover, in addition to the detailed connection process, during the information campaign gas benefits were presented to the citizens of Koufalia – being an environmentally friendly, user friendly and practical fuel and with maximum appliance lifespan.

The EDA THESS hotline 11150 is available to citizens for any information on new connections and construction issues.

Additional scope of the Campaign was to further inform public on the safety of facilities, always under the Distribution Network Management Code (Government Gazette 1507/B/02.05.2018).

Consumers are themselves responsible for selecting a Licensed Installer for the in-house installation downstream of the meter, as well as for selecting a Supplier with regard to the Gas Supply Agreement. In addition, consumers were informed that they should carry out annual regular maintenance to ensure proper operation of the facility.     

It should also be noted that the EDA THESS emergency phone number 10302, operates 24/7 to report any malfunction in gas supply system.
