Distribution network operator DEDDIE/HEDNO has relaunched a mammoth tender worth a total of 1.6 billion euros for the reinforcement and upgrade of the distribution network throughout Greece over a five-year period.

The tender was initially announced several months earlier but then withdrawn to take into account and adopt certain observations made by interested parties.

The relaunched tender concerns 37 contracts around Greece, 8 of these in the wider Athens area, 9 in the Macedonia-Thrace region, 7 in the Peloponnese and Epirus, 6 in central Greece and 7 at island locations.

DEDDIE/HEDNO aims to reinforce the distribution network for its role in the energy transition, while also protecting it against extreme weather conditions.
