DEPA Group is taking its energy strategy to the 90th Thessaloniki International Fair, presenting Greece as a country seeking a larger role in the region’s energy system.

The vertically integrated group says it is investing in supply diversification and infrastructure designed to strengthen energy security. Its projects include the Interconnector Greece-Bulgaria, known as the IGB, and the Alexandroupolis floating storage and regasification unit. Through ATLANTIC SEE LNG TRADE, DEPA is also expanding its international trading activity and developing new flows of US liquefied natural gas toward Southeast and Central European markets.

The group will present its work across several areas, including energy infrastructure and power generation, renewable energy, new energy applications, environmentally focused mobility solutions and sustainable development. DEPA says these priorities are being translated into investments with practical effects for the economy, society and the environment.

A central event will take place on Saturday, September 5, from 12:15 to 14:30 at Pavilion 15, Stand 42. Titled “Greece in the New Energy Landscape: Infrastructure, Markets and Prospects,” it will examine changes shaping the energy sector through contributions from market representatives and academics.

Environment and Energy Minister Stavros Papastavrou, Deputy Minister Nikos Tsafos, Secretary-General for Energy and Mineral Resources Despina Paliarouta, and DEPA Commercial Chief Executive Konstantinos Xifaras are due to address the event. Three discussions will focus on new natural-gas corridors and Greece’s role in Southeast Europe, the changing electricity market, and the future of retail electricity for consumers and suppliers.
