Perasma Solar Cluster

A milestone project in Kozani

The Perasma Solar Cluster consists of 7 solar parks:

• Perasma 1 – 4.98MW
• Perasma 2 – 14.91MW
• Perasma 3 – 4.89MW
• Perasma 4 – 14.91MW
• Perasma 5 – 14.91MW
• Perasma 6 – 19.81MW
• Perasma 7 – 19.97MW

Following the successful electrification of the Kozani High Voltage Substation, all of our PV plants, which comprise the Perasma Solar Cluster have been completed. The Perasma 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 plants began their trial operation in May and June 2024 respectively, adding an additional 84MW of installed capacity to our project portfolio. This was followed, in December 2024, by the electrification and start of energy production at Perasma 1, bringing the total installed capacity of the plants to 94.42MW.

Sustainable Construction Site

The construction of the Perasma solar cluster followed our “Sustainable Construction Site” model, a collection of best practices aimed at minimizing the environmental impact during this process. The energy consumed at the site was produced exclusively by solar panels.

During the construction phase of the project, we took the necessary measures to make sure that livestock activities, such as grazing, in the local area are not affected. Now, in the operational phase, we continue to create pathways that enable grazing, in the wider area of the Cluster.

Community Impact

We are committed to Creating Shared Value with local communities, both during the construction and during the operation of the project, and in this context, we cooperate with the Community of Mavrodendri, which is located near the project. Having so far supported ceremonial events of the Community, performed works at the Cemetery Chapel and responded to a variety of needs, we continue to foster a healthy relationship of trust. The Cluster’s construction offered about 200 jobs of full-time employment, 90% of which were filled by residents of the nearby region.

In line with the principles of Circular Economy, we implemented a program for the creative reuse of packaging pallets to create gifts & wooden construction for “Kivotos”, the first Center for Recovery – Rehabilitation, Day Care, and Day Care for the Disabled in the Kozani region. The raw material for this innovative project, which was funded by the company, with the contribution of the Cluster of Bioeconomy and Environment of Western Macedonia and the scientific support of the Department of Applied and Fine Arts of the University of Western Macedonia, was 500 pallets that transported the solar panels to the “Perasma” Cluster while it was under construction, as well as 6 huge 1.5m diameter rotors with medium voltage cables that were used in the project. Using some of the materials, students from the University’s Sculpture and Decorative Arts Workshops created decorative ornaments and utilitarian wooden toys for the children of “Kivotos”. The highlight of the project was the creation of the wooden playground named “Kivotos”, within the Center’s facilities. The space is covered and suitable for wheelchairs, so that every child has free access to the game, contributing to the education and rehabilitation of children with disabilities.

At the same time, in collaboration with the Cluster of Bioeconomy and Environment of Western Macedonia we created – exclusively for the households of Mavrodendri – a special program to address energy poverty. More specifically, we carried out a study and research that focused on the identification of the energy needs of the village, the consequences of the energy crisis and the ways to deal with this issue in the area. As part of the program, which was divided into three phases, the first one-stop-shop in Greece was created, for two-way communication between citizens and the structure, better information and awareness, and the provision of personalized advice.
