DEDA, a recently established subsidiary of DEPA, the Public Gas Corporation, tasked with developing, expanding and activating natural gas networks in regions not covered by the parent company’s existing ventures serving the wider Athens area, Thessaly and Thessaloniki, has just begun operating.

Founded on January 1, DEDA intends to add provincial city Kilkis and other regions into its network expansion program by the end of 2017.

Natural gas supply in the Kilkis region is expected to soon begin with the Kilkis General Hospital as the local network’s first recipient.

Given this development, DEDA is currently examining the prospect of constructing an associated network of limited reach in the Kilkis area, as a pilot program for the full-scale project.
