The work of exploiting urban and rural geothermal energy from the Municipality of Alexandroupolis could be a guide to all geothermal and district heating projects in Greece.
The project, a budget of 6.5m euros, is expected to be realised in the municipal unit of Traianoupolis and its implementation is expected to begin in the coming weeks.
Speaking to ERA Orestiada for the project, CES President Vasilis Tsolakidis argued that this is an important project with many benefits to the local community.
"In Alexandroupolis, takes place the first pilot effort to exploit geothermy, mainly through local government. There are other efforts, but here we are talking about the local government that has taken this initiative and has a very large program for its utilization for the production of thermal energy and its distribution through district heating to operators in public buildings and for agricultural crops, mainly for greenhouses", Vasilis Tsolakidis noted.
