The basic plan envisages that <strong data-start=\"1056\" data-end=\"1063\">DEC&#8217;s installed capacity<\/strong> will reach <strong data-start=\"1077\" data-end=\"1100\">24.3 GW by 2030<\/strong>, up from <strong data-start=\"1106\" data-end=\"1125\">12.4 GW in 2025<\/strong>, which essentially translates into a doubling of its energy footprint. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1210\" data-end=\"1406\">The new growth model also marks the definitive transition from the logic of the so-called &#8220;small PPC&#8221; to a much larger and more outward-looking company, with a presence in many European markets. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1408\" data-end=\"1713\"> At the same time, this plan includes a significant expansion of the company&#8217;s activities outside Greece. <strong data-start=\"1514\" data-end=\"1521\">DEC<\/strong> plans a stronger presence in countries such as <strong data-start=\"1568\" data-end=\"1581\">Bulgaria<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"1585\" data-end=\"1597\">Romania<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"1601\" data-end=\"1611\">Italy<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"1615\" data-end=\"1626\">Croatia<\/strong>, but also entering new markets such as <strong data-start=\"1666\" data-end=\"1678\">Hungary<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"1682\" data-end=\"1693\">Poland<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"1700\" data-end=\"1712\">Slovakia<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1715\" data-end=\"1937\">In addition to energy, the group is also investing in new sectors. The focus is on <strong data-start=\"1806\" data-end=\"1825\">telecommunications<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"1829\" data-end=\"1840\">solar<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"1844\" data-end=\"1861\">electromobility<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"1869\" data-end=\"1885\">data centers<\/strong>, which are seen as the key pillars of the next day. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1939\" data-end=\"2297\">In terms of Greece, the company aims to add an additional <strong data-start=\"2008\" data-end=\"2016\">5 GW<\/strong> by the end of the decade. Thus, the total installed capacity is expected to reach <strong data-start=\"2106\" data-end=\"2117\">13.3 GW<\/strong>. The plan is progressing in parallel with full <strong data-start=\"2159\" data-end=\"2179\">de-lignification<\/strong>, which will be completed in 2026, and the gradual reduction of oil-fired power generation on the islands. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2299\" data-end=\"2536\">In <strong data-start=\"2303\" data-end=\"2315\">Romania<\/strong>, the goal is even more ambitious. The group aims to triple installed capacity by 2030 to <strong data-start=\"2440\" data-end=\"2450\">5.3 GW<\/strong> through investments in <strong data-start=\"2474\" data-end=\"2481\">renewable energy sources<\/strong>, energy storage and new gas plants. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2538\" data-end=\"2869\">A similar strategy will be followed in other countries where the company has already established a presence, including <strong data-start=\"2651\" data-end=\"2661\">Italy<\/strong>, <strong data-start=\"2665\" data-end=\"2678\">Bulgaria<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"2685\" data-end=\"2696\">Croatia<\/strong>. There the focus will be mainly on <strong data-start=\"2739\" data-end=\"2770\">renewable energy<\/strong>, storage and flexible gas plants, with a target total capacity of <strong data-start=\"2844\" data-end=\"2854\">3.5 GW<\/strong> by 2030. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2871\" data-end=\"3101\">For the Central and Southeastern Europe region, the strategic plan envisages expansion through organic growth as well as acquisitions. The goal is to build a portfolio of <strong data-start=\"3058\" data-end=\"3068\">2.2 GW<\/strong> in <strong data-start=\"3077\" data-end=\"3084\">RES<\/strong> and storage projects. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3103\" data-end=\"3368\">A significant portion of the capital increase appears to have already been secured. The <strong data-start=\"3180\" data-end=\"3191\">Public Sector<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"3198\" data-end=\"3222\">CVC Capital Partners<\/strong>, which directly or indirectly control stakes <strong data-start=\"3260\" data-end=\"3269\">35,3%<\/strong> and <strong data-start=\"3274\" data-end=\"3284\">10.34%<\/strong> respectively, have already announced their intention to participate in the process. <\/p>\n<p data-start=\"3370\" data-end=\"3666\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">In relation to the plan for the allocation of new shares, management clarifies that, although the abolition of pre-emptive rights is envisaged, there will be a special mechanism to allow small shareholders to participate in the increase and retain their stake in the company, if they so wish. <\/p>\n<p>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\n    The official start of the process for the increase of PPC&#8217;s share capital is expected next Thursday (14\/5), when the &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4754,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4753","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-economy"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4753","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4753"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4753\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/4754"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4753"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4753"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/en.tomanifesto.gr\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4753"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
