We started "Energy on the Go" for another year. Our first visits took place in schools in Polygyros, Chalkidiki
As part of the educational program "Energy on the Go", we visited Primary Schools and High Schools in the Municipality of Polygyros and talked to students about renewable sources, energy saving and the circular economy. This action acquires special meaning as it was implemented in parallel with the completion of Principia's first energy storage project in the area, "Themelio".
Education for students of all ages
Starting the 11th year of the program, we visited two Primary Schools in Polygyros, where children had the opportunity to learn more about the concepts of energy, renewable sources, innovation and sustainability, through interactive methods and experiential games.
Furthermore, at Galatista High School, we opened a constructive dialogue with the participants about green energy, both as a driving force of sustainable development and as a dynamically developing sector that they can explore and choose for their professional future. At the same time, we encouraged female students to engage in professions in the industry, electrical engineering and technology in general, as part of our effort to strengthen equality at work, combat stereotypes and empower women and girls in Science.
"Themelio": a milestone in the energy transition
We operate in Polygyros with the "Vavdos" Solar Park and the "Themelio" Battery Energy Storage System. By developing a BESS solution, we contribute to the smoother integration of RES into the grid, reducing production cuts and enhancing stability during peak hours.
Through the implementation of "Energy on the Go", students understand energy technologies in practice and develop ecological awareness. Thus, we support the local community, making the new generation an active participant in the path to the green transition.
Looking ahead
By combining educational action and technological infrastructure, we are laying the foundations for a more sustainable energy future. At the same time, in Polygyros, we open a window of interaction with students, teachers, parents and the wider community.
Over 4,800 pupils and students from different regions of Greece have already participated in "Energy on the Go" since 2014. The program continues to be an opportunity for us to inspire, raise awareness and build a tomorrow with strong links between innovation and creating value for local communities, exactly as we envision it.
