Our vision
For 70 years PPC has been a driving force for the development of our national economy. Its establishment, in August 1950, came to change the image of the energy landscape of Greece through the implementation of a particularly crucial national project, the electrification of the country. Today, it pioneers and leads the energy transition, through its transformation and its new strategic plan, in full alignment with the ambitious 2050 climate neutrality goals of the European Union and Greece.
PPC is changing in the direction of the energy transformation that is taking place worldwide in the industry, with the aim of playing again a leading role in the Greek market and Southeastern Europe. It is entering a new phase in which it plans to transform itself into a modern, strongly outward-looking and efficient European energy supply company.
"We have a great and long history, but we are now opening a new chapter, creating value for the benefit of the country, the consumers and naturally the environment. Because PPC is already today #One with the future "
