With funding of €701,612 from the Special Program for a Just Transition under the National Development Program (EPD) 2021-2025, construction of a photovoltaic power plant is set to begin in the Lagoura area of the Municipality of Argos Orestiko, Kastoria, following a decision by Deputy Minister of National Economy and Finance Nikos Papathanasis.
Specifically, the construction, which will include a tracking system and energy storage, aims to cover a significant portion of the energy needs of the region’s Wastewater Treatment Plant, a critical infrastructure for public health and environmental protection with growing and constant electricity needs. Upon completion of the project, a reduction in energy costs and carbon dioxide emissions will be ensured.
The photovoltaic station will have a capacity of 199.50 kW, while the energy storage system will consist of two high-voltage lithium-ion batteries (HVS) with a capacity of 2.56 kWh each.
The Municipality of Argos Orestiko has been designated as the beneficiary of the project.
