The project was commissioned by the EBRD to PLANET, a leading international consortium.

Christos Giannakopoulos, President and CEO of PLANET said: “It is a great joy and responsibility for us at PLANET, to undertake these two particularly important projects for the country. Besides, it is a firm strategic choice of our company to claim and implement projects that contribute decisively to the implementation of policies and the achievement of national goals for green development “.
