Strategic Transformation and Digitisation

In our new business plan, we include Strategic Projects, which are both a central axis and a catalyst for the modernization of our company, while marking our path for the near future.

These projects are part of the Transformation Programme of the BPA towards a modern Network Management Company through digitised operations and new tools for planning and deployment of the Distribution Network across the mainland and the Non-Interconnected Islands.

Our strategic projects create the basic conditions for Greece to enter the new era of Smart Grids, on the basis of which new markets for services and products can be developed in a constantly changing electricity market. The electricity sector has entered a period of radical change internationally, both technologically and in terms of business, and we at HEDNO are seeking to develop the necessary infrastructure with the maximum possible benefit for the economy, society and the environment.

The Strategic Projects cover a wide range of modernization activities, such as Smart Grids, Telemetering of consumption, Tele-customer service and automation in many internal operations, always keeping an eye on new trends in the electricity sector.

Within the framework of State Aid Scheme Action 16634 “New Industrial Parks” of the General Secretariat for Industry of the Ministry of Development, funded through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan “Greece 2.0”, HEDNO has implemented substation and network upgrade projects in nine (9) Industrial Parks to serve existing Industrial Areas (IAs).

The measure aims to modernize the country’s energy infrastructure serving Industrial Areas (IAs) and to enhance the capacity of the distribution network through targeted interventions involving the upgrade and undergrounding of Medium Voltage (MV) networks, as well as the reinforcement of Substation capacity. These targeted interventions ensure the full accommodation of increased electricity demand from both existing and new industrial customers, within the Industrial Areas as well as in the surrounding regions. At the same time, they significantly improve service quality and the reliability of the electricity supplied, while enhancing the overall efficiency and operational security of the distribution network. A key strategic benefit of these projects is the maximization of the integration of new Renewable Energy Source (RES) installations, effectively promoting modern energy-saving, energy storage and clean energy distribution solutions.

The projects have been implemented in the Industrial Areas of  Xanthi, Kavala, Florina, Serres, Ioannina, Kilkis, Komotini and Lamia, as well as in the Industrial Park of Sapes, with 100% funding of eligible expenditure.
