PPC Renewables: Completion of 40 MW wind farms in Western Macedonia

The organic growth of the RES portfolio of PPC Renewables is progressing dynamically, as new wind and solar projects are constantly being completed and added to the existing RES projects with an installed capacity of about 1.5GW. In the first quarter of 2024, the first part of the KOUKOULI-DUKAS wind farm complex in Western Macedonia was put into operation.

Specifically, it was put into operation, after the connection to the electricity transmission system was completed, the “Koukouli” wind farm, in the wider area of ​​Siatista. The project, with an installed capacity of 13.5MW, consists of three 4.5MW wind turbines which are expected to produce 38 GWh of energy per year, while preventing the emission of approximately 22,000 tons of CO2.

Except from “Kukouli” wind farm, the cluster of wind farms in Western Macedonia also consists of the “Doukas” wind farm, near Kleisoura Kastoria. With an installed capacity of 26MW from 5 wind turbines of 5.2MW, the “Doukas” station is expected to produce 68 GWh per year and prevent the emission of approximately 39,500 tons of CO2 through its operation. Work is progressing rapidly and it is expected to be operational before the end of the year. The construction of the two wind farms started in the summer of 2022.

With around 1.8 GW of new RES projects currently under construction, the PPC is moving forward dynamically in its green transformation through the 100% subsidiary PPC Renewables. Among the major RES projects being built is the 550MW photovoltaic project-station, located within the old lignite mines of the wider Ptolemaida area and one of the largest solar energy projects in Europe.
