PPC Group is expanding its presence in Southeast Europe

PPC Group is dynamically moving forward, with the development of new RES projects, as new wind and photovoltaic projects are constantly being added to the company's existing projects. With the addition of the new PV station, the installed capacity will surpass 6.5 GW, of which 1.5 GW in Romania.

According to its three-year strategic plan, by 2027, PPC Group will develop additional RES projects in Greece and the wider region of Southeast Europe, with the aim of increasing its installed capacity from RES to 11.8 GW by 2027.
