The residents of the Kozani and Florina prefectures have given a vote of confidence in the PPC Group’s investment plan by massively registering their participation for the PPC Group’s €5 million bond issue.

The issue was oversubscribed seven times, as the total valid demand , expressed by investors who participated in the Public Offer and met the Targeted Interest Criterion, amounted to €35 million. The allocation of the Bonds will be made on a pro rata basis based on the level of demand, as specified in the bond allocation process in the Announcement – Invitation.

The PPC Group, as committed during the presentation of its investment plan for Western Macedonia in April 2025, proceeded through its wholly owned subsidiary, PPC Renewables, to the allocation of up to 50.000 common nominal intangible bonds with a guarantee of coverage by PPC in case the investors do not cover the entire issue.

The nominal value of each bond was set at €100 with a minimum participation limit of five bonds and a maximum participation limit of 250 bonds. The yield is a fixed 8% per annum, which means that the investor’s initial capital will increase by 40% (before tax) over five years. The maturity of the issue is five years with the possibility of reissue by PPC Renewables.

The interested parties – exclusively residents of Kozani and Florina prefectures – participated en masse in the issue by registering their participation at local branches of Piraeus Bank from 13 March to 17 April 2026. The certification of the completeness of the localization criterion was carried out by presenting documents, such as, but not limited to, tax office documents, a recent energy, telecommunications or water bill, or a residential lease contract that has been notified to the competent tax authorities.

The bond issue was initially announced by the Chairman and CEO of PPC, Mr. George Stassis, last April during the presentation of PPC Group’s strategic investment plan, at an event held at the former lignite-fired steam power plant in Kardia.

The PPC Group’s strategic investment plan is worth €5.75 billion. 5.75 billion over the next 3 to 5 years and envisages that the former lignite areas in Western Macedonia will be transformed into a technological and green energy hub for the country and South-Eastern Europe.

The project includes a new 300 MW mega data center at Agios Dimitrios NPP, which in a second phase may be upgraded to a giga data center up to 1.000 MW, which PPC is ready to start construction as soon as it has agreed with the hyperscalers that will use it. It also includes renewable energy projects of over 2 GW and 860 MW of energy storage including two pumped storage projects, the conversion of the Ptolemaida 5 unit as a 295MW OCGT gas plant with the possibility of upgrading to a 440 MW CCGT, rehabilitation and decommissioning and a number of other projects that will transform Western Macedonia into a technological and green energy hub for the country and South-East Europe.

The implementation of the dozens of projects by PPC Group will lead to the creation of up to 20,000 jobs during construction and up to 2,000 jobs during operation at full development of all projects.
