Greece’s Public Power Corporation (PPC), known as ΔΕΗ, is actively addressing what it calls “fake news” surrounding the country’s coal phase-out plan. The company is emphasizing a €5.75 billion investment in Western Macedonia, the region most affected by the transition. This investment will focus on energy transition initiatives, including land restoration projects and energy storage facilities. A key component of the plan is the development of a Mega Data Center intended to stimulate economic growth. ΔΕΗ aims to clarify the narrative around the phase-out, highlighting the potential for regional development rather than economic decline. The company asserts the transition will create a future for the region, backed by substantial financial commitment and infrastructure projects. This initiative seeks to counter negative perceptions and promote a positive outlook for Western Macedonia’s future.
