Public Power Corporation (PPC), Greece’s largest electricity utility, said yesterday it will pay up to 43.4 million euros ($55.5 million) to buy six wind farms from BCI Group. PPC’s board cleared the acquisition of the wind parks last week as part of efforts to become less dependent on lignite. State-controlled PPC aims to invest about 2 billion euros in renewables by 2015 to replace a total of 2,000 megawatts of old, polluting lignite plants as it shifts toward cleaner energy sources.
