Power utility PPC and the ministry of environment and energy are preparing a list of production units and mines that will be put on sale as part of Greece's agreement with its lenders and a European Court ruling for the abolition of PPC's monopoly in lignite production, sources said.

The labour union of Greece’s power utility PPC announced on Monday it will call strikes against the government’s decision to sell some of the company’s lignite plants, its president Giorgos Adamidis told the press, after a meeting with Energy Minister George Stathakis.  

Public Power Corporation Renewables, a subsidiary of PPC, plans to build 12 new windpower parks with a total power of 31.8 MW in Sitia (Crete), Evia and Aegean islands.
