As conventional energy sources are depleting rapidly, countries worldwide have started to intensify their focus on adopting renewable energy alternatives like solar and wind. To meet emission targets, countries are also actively investing in energy companies to develop new power generation projects.

According to reports, the company has linked its new Kafireas wind farm complex to the energy grid, making it the largest wind project in Greece that owns an effectively power generation capacity of over 154 MW.
Situated in the municipality of Karystos (Evia), the Kafireas wind farm was built for around 300 million euros and was recently inaugurated by Greece Prime Minister, Mr. Kyriakos Mitsotakis, along with Mr. Kostis Hatzidakis, Minister of Environment and Energy.
