The program is implemented through a Special
Portfolio Fund, with a budget of €396 million, from
NSRF resources. It supplements banking loans
and provides low-interest liquidity to the market.
Similar actions are planned for businesses,
enabling them to reduce energy consumption,
costs and carbon emissions. “Building the Future”
will also realize demonstrative applications.
The first three green neighbourhoods were
launched in Western Athens, along with 40 Green
Schools. These interventions will be made soon
and will be geographically distributed in a bal-
anced manner —without any regional discrimina-
tion— since our homes are everywhere.
Today, 1,100,000 people are employed in sectors
related to the building construction industry. As a
result of these interventions, it is estimated that
employment will approach 1,350,000 in the next
three-years.
PPC – Kozani PV park
The Prime Minister, G. Papandreou, recently
announced in Kozani a €600 million investment
for the construction of the world’s largest photo-
voltaic park, which will be generating 260,000
megawatt hours of electricity per year. It will be
built on the 5.200 hectare site of a depleted mine
in the Lignite Centre of Western Macedonia. It will
employ a total of 550 people, since, along with
PPC’s PV Park, a PV panel factory will also be
built. The international tender for an investment
partner will be launched during the summer.
