Alert is the two electricity managers of the electricity grid, ADME and HEDNO, so that there will be no problems in the coming days, when the heat will hit “red” by raising its demand electricity.
The most difficult day is considered Thursday (24.7.25), when the lead in demand in the country will reach noon up to 10,370 MW, based on ADMIE’s latest estimates. By comparison, the peak is today (22.7.25) a whole gigavat lower.
A meeting was held on Sunday with the stakeholders involved in order to evaluate the readiness of the system. On the part of the ministry and managers, there are optimism, as there are sufficient units, both conventional and RES, that they can offer the appropriate quantities.
Indicatively, the remaining lignite units of PPC, such as Ptolemais 5, are able to turn turns. The same is true to large hydroelectricity whose stocks are maintained for precisely for such difficult days to play a balancing role in the system. To the above are added the gas units as a key pillar, including the new station in Komotini more than 800 MW.
In addition to the supply and demand balance, it is important in the midst of the heat and the rapid recovery of any damage that will arise locally. HEDDIE said this summer the majority were repaired by the workshops within two hours.
