PPC Renewables

What PPC Renewables does

PPC Renewables is the renewable energy subsidiary of Public Power Corporation (PPC/DEI), Greece's state-owned and largest electricity provider, incorporated and operating in Greece since 2006. The subsidiary develops utility-scale renewable energy projects — primarily solar photovoltaic parks, battery energy storage systems (BESS), and pumped-hydro storage — with operational concentration in the Western Macedonia region, where former lignite mining sites at Amyntaio and Ptolemaida are being repurposed into renewable energy hubs. As of April 2026, PPC Renewables had completed 2,130 MW of solar PV capacity at these sites, forming what is described as Europe's largest photovoltaic cluster, capable of generating 3,150 GWh annually, supplying approximately 750,000 households and preventing an estimated 1.5 million tons of CO₂ emissions per year.

The company's core technology stack centers on utility-scale solar PV generation paired with electrochemical (BESS) and pumped-hydro storage, enabling grid services such as frequency regulation and renewable integration. Underlying projects include a 230MWp pipeline in Kozani financed by the European Investment Bank, a 200MWh BESS contract awarded to Trina Storage in Western Macedonia, a 60.12MWh wind-farm BESS project in Romania, and pumped-hydro storage developments on former mining sites. Distribution occurs primarily through Greece's national grid as a wholesale power generator, supplemented by cross-border project activity in Romania.

PPC Renewables monetizes electricity through wholesale power sales into the Greek grid and through EU/EIB concessional financing arrangements, with community-level capital raising (e.g., a €5M community bond at 8% annual return for Kozani and Florina residents) as an emerging secondary channel. Through its parent, the renewable operation is also tied to a broader consumer energy platform — including myEnergy residential and SME solar solutions, heat pumps, fiber internet, EV charging (bluePass), and loyalty services — positioning the renewable generation business as the upstream asset of a vertically integrated retail energy brand. Strategic customers are effectively the Greek national grid system, with institutional financial partners (EIB, InvestEU) and technology providers (Trina Storage) forming the supporting ecosystem.

Core offering

PPC Renewables develops, builds, and operates utility-scale renewable energy infrastructure in Greece, including large-scale solar photovoltaic parks and electrochemical battery energy storage systems, with projects located on former lignite mining sites in Western Macedonia. The company also develops pumped-hydro storage capacity and sells generated electricity into Greece's national grid, complemented by community investment instruments and grid services such as frequency regulation.

Product overview

PPC Renewables (a subsidiary of PPC Group, Greece's largest electricity provider) operates as an energy solutions platform offering both utility-scale renewable energy infrastructure and consumer-facing products. The utility-scale portfolio includes utility solar PV projects (2,130 MW completed in Western Macedonia, 230 MWp in Kozani), battery energy storage systems (BESS up to 200 MWh), and pumped-hydro storage on former lignite mining sites. The consumer portfolio centers on PPC myEnergy solar solutions (SolarSmart with no upfront cost, SolarNet for purchase, SolarPro for businesses), complemented by heat pumps, digital energy coaching, and EV charging services. Core electricity and natural gas supply products (myHome/myBusiness plans) provide the base offering, while Fiber internet, myRewards loyalty, FixIt technical services, and bluePass EV charging serve as modular add-ons to the energy platform.
