Mr. Yiannis Yiarentis, CEO & Chairman of BoD of DAPEEP, will share his thoughts about the measures taken from the Ministry of Environment and Energy to poise the RES special account deficit, the digitalization policy of the Operator with the parallel simplification payment procedure for the RES producers, and the role of DAPEEP in decreasing the industrial energy cost.

On top of the above, the virtual discussion will focus on the potential further development of RES projects in Greece, and DAPEEP’s contribution in achieving the green energy transition goals. Additionally, the Covid-19 pandemic, the turbulences caused in the market, and the Operator’s role in overcoming this crisis will further be assessed. Last but not least, Mr. Yiannis Yiarentis will give his perspective about the opportunities and challenges triggered by the implementation of the Target Model, where DAPEEP operates as a last resort Aggregator.
