Public Power Corporation Is Linking Greece’s Energy Expansion With Data-Center Infrastructure

Public Power Corporation (PPC) Group’s 2030 strategic plan includes a 300 megawatt data center in Kozani, northern Greece. The company expects construction to begin in 2026 and identifies about €1.2 billion in relevant capital expenditure. The plan connects digital infrastructure with an energy company’s wider investment strategy, but the data center remains planned rather than operational.

A 300 Megawatt Data Center in Kozani

A data center of this scale is inseparable from its electricity supply. Computing equipment requires dependable power, network connections, cooling and operating capacity. PPC’s position in the energy system gives it a direct interest in how those requirements are planned, financed and delivered together.

Kozani also gives the project an industrial-transition context. Locating new digital infrastructure in northern Greece could create a different use for energy and development capacity in the region. PPC has established its plan and expected construction timing; it has not yet established an operational facility, customers or operating demand.

From Capital Expenditure to Operating Capacity

The reported €1.2 billion indicates the scale of the proposed commitment. Capital delivery still has to move through design, approvals, procurement and construction before it can support reliable operations. Power availability must advance with the facility so that one investment does not wait on another.

PPC will need to show how the data center fits within its wider 2030 program and how delivery risks are managed. Construction progress, contracted capacity, electricity arrangements and an eventual operational date would provide clearer evidence than the investment figure alone.

Energy and digital infrastructure are converging in this proposal. The operational test is whether PPC can bring the planned facility into service with dependable power and commercially usable capacity in Kozani.
