Kozani is at the forefront of one of Greece’s most significant energy transitions. For decades, the city’s district heating system relied on lignite fired power plants that are scheduled to be decommissioned by 2028. To maintain affordable and reliable heat while advancing toward climate neutrality, the Municipality of Kozani is exploring an innovative Green Heat Module (GHM): an electro-thermal energy storage system powered by a 12.5 MWp solar photovoltaic park.

This project was supported by funding from the EU Cities Mission, provided through the City Expert Support Facility (CESF) of NetZeroCities.
