The event, which is the third in a series of informative events for the project, after those in Amfilochia and Agrinio, had the character of a one-day seminar, split into two distinct Thematic Sessions. The first session aimed at presenting the latest developments in the energy market in relation to storage projects, alongside the prospects of hydro pumped storage projects in Greece and abroad. This Session’s presentations were delivered by specialised market executives of international caliber, who stressed the importance of energy storage projects to the stability of the grid system, but also the need to resolve critical issues for the development of hydro pumped storage projects.

Speakers delivering this Session were participants in the project, namely representatives of the developer, the Project Management Consultant and the design team. During the presentations of this Session, the importance of the project and its benefits on the trans-European energy market were stressed, as well as those to the local and national economy, whilst the challenges faced by the implementation team dealing with this design phase of the project, were highlighted.
