Earlier this week, Georgios Exarchou, our Business Developer for Greece & Cyprus, discussed HDF Energy’s ambitions for the Greek market and sustainability with esteemed members of the Secretariat for Commercial, Industry and Business Affairs for Nea Dimokratia (Νέα Δημοκρατία - New Democracy), currently Greece's governing political party.
❇️ The meeting was hosted at Nea Dimokratia's headquarters by the Secretary, Akis Bafas, who was accompanied by Yannis Triantafyllou, Director of the Secretariat, Simos Christofakis, Coordinator, ESG and Sustainable Business Affairs, and Karayannis George, Coordinator, Energy Affairs.
🌟 Discussions held covered Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) metrics, reskilling the workforce for the energy transition, and specific challenges in Greece, including delignitization areas, non-interconnected islands, and Crete.
🧩 Georgios highlighted the vital role of the Energy Management System (EMS), the "brain" of our Renewstable® hydrogen power plants. The EMS seamlessly orchestrates the plants’ renewable energy sources, hydrogen installations, and Li-on batteries to ensure an uninterrupted, cost-competitive supply of green electricity 24/7, whilst meeting grid requirements and saving thousands of tons of CO2 annually.
🤝 Secretary Bafas, in his remarks, stressed out that Nea Dimokratia views energy transition as a unique opportunity for knowledge transfer and reskilling/upskilling local workforce affected by the “delignitization” process and the broader changes in the energy production field. Georgios, in reply, emphasized that this approach is crucial for the success of all our hydrogen infrastructure projects under development worldwide.
