Gas grid operator DESFA’s latest ten-year development program, revised annually and now uploaded onto its official website for public consultation, includes projects with a total budget of 830 million euros.

The program, covering 2022 to 2031, includes new projects worth 183 million euros, plus projects worth 647 million euros that were included in the previous ten-year plan, covering 2021 to 2030.

The 183 million-euro amount, designated for twelve new projects budgeted at 161 million euros, includes gas network expansions into new areas, the main project here being an extension into northwestern Greece’s Ioannina area from the west Macedonia region in northern Greece, a project worth 156 million euros.

A further 14.5 million euros is planned to be invested in improving, modernizing and maintaining the country’s gas grid.
