Development Minister Dimitris Sioufas has given the go ahead to the Public Power Corporation to install and operate additional temporary power generation units on 13 Aegean islands unconnected with the national grid, totaling a capacity of 68 megawatts. The plan, aimed at preventing shortges during the summer, particularly during the Olympic Games, was made possible after the Regulatory Energy Authority (RAE) lifted previous objections based on the argument that such projects had to be assigned on the basis of tenders it would issue itself.
