Derived from the items above — not a forecast.
The connection backlog of about 10 GW and the 4 GW storage target point to continued demand for grid equipment, transformation capacity and battery systems in Greece.
The staged rollout of large LFP storage creates demand for grid connections, medium- and high-voltage equipment and cables in Greece and the region.
A backlog extending to end-2028 indicates continued tight production slots for high-voltage cable, including for the Cyprus-linked GSI project.
Together with the ongoing €9.2 million project to replace 100 km of mains, Limassol shows continuing demand for reservoirs, pipes and network equipment.
