Aqua~Media International Ltd is the publisher of The International Journal on Hydropower and Dams, and the organizer of the HYDRO, ASIA and AFRICA event series.
As Greece continues its journey in the energy transition, PPC (the Public Power Corporation, which is the country’s largest electric power company) has underlined its strong commitment to more renewable energy development, including the planning of new hydro schemes, the addition of pumped-storage at existing hydro plants, exploitation of the synergy between various renewable energy sources, and acceleration of multipurpose schemes which had been suspended. Completion of the Messochora project is to resume, the 680 MW Amfilochia pumped-storage scheme is under- way by a private developer (with more pumped storage planned), and the Metsovitikos hydro scheme is expected to start operating by the end of 2025.
The opportunity to visit a variety of dams and powerplants will be offered on two study tours currently being planned. One tour can be taken as a one- or two-day trip, and the other will be a longer journey with more visits, and is currently planned as a three-day option.
Touristic visits will be incorporated within the tours and will be detailed on the next update, when technical visit timings have been confirmed.
Full details of the tours, logistics and precise itineraries will be posted on line shortly, so please check our website for updates.
