The story

PPC was founded by the Greek government in 1950. Its main purpose was to plan and apply a national energy policy which, through the exploitation of the domestic products and resources, would distribute cheap electric power to all Greek citizens. PPC started the integration of all the small local grids to the national interconnected grid. Furthermore, the corporation resolved the purchase of all the small private and local electric power production units.

Today, PPC Group consists of 5 subsidiary companies in Greece PPC S.A., the Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator (HEDNO or DEDDIE) S.A., PPC RENEWABLES S.A., PPC Fibegrip and Kotsovolos. Also PPC Group consists of 3 subsidiary companies in Romania PPC Romania, Retele Electrice and PPC Renewables Romania.

Even if HEDNO S.A. (the Greek DSO) is owned by PPC, HEDNO S.A. operates independently according to L.4001/2011 and in compliance with 2009/72/EC EU Directive relative to the electricity market organization.
