Today, Wednesday, February 28, 2024, in the presence of the Mayor of Kalamata Thanasis Vassilopoulos, a contract was signed between DEYAK and the contractor company ZILLION SINGLE-PERSON IKE, for the implementation of the project “Supply, installation and operation of two photovoltaic power plants of 999.50 KWp<Ppv<1 each using virtual energy offsetting”, with a budget of €1,736,000 including 24% VAT. The contract was signed by the President of DEYAK, Dimitris Mastragelopoulos, and the legal representative of the contractor company, Vasilios Ziogos, while a discussion on the construction schedules of the project followed at the Mayor’s office, with the participation of the General Director of DEYAK, Michalis Vasiliadis.

MAYOR’S STATEMENT
In a statement, Thanasis Vassilopoulos said: “Another important project of DEYA Kalamata is on the path to implementation. This is the project of the two large Photovoltaic Stations, which we designed, claimed and has now been contracted, paving the way for its construction. This is a project with multiple benefits, both financially and environmentally, as its completion will significantly reduce the energy costs that DEYA currently spends, covering both the Biological Treatment and other energy-intensive water supply facilities of our Municipality. It shows the direction of the Municipal Authority, as it is in line with our planning and those that serve the goals of our city’s Climate Agreement.”
WHAT IS THE PROJECT ABOUT?
The object of the project is the supply, installation and operation of two photovoltaic power stations of 999.50 KWp<Ppv<1 each using virtual energy offsetting.
The installation of the PV Station will take place at the “Xerolagada” and “Moutelaki” locations outside the Asprochomatos Urban Area Plan of the Municipality of Kalamata and the aim is to connect the PV Station to the MV electricity network of the Hellenic Electricity Distribution Company (DEDDHEE) with the aim of saving on electricity consumption costs through the Virtual Net-Metering mechanism.
One PV station will virtually offset the installation of the WWTP (Biological Treatment Plant) and the second will similarly offset selected energy-intensive water supply facilities located in different parts of the enlarged Municipality of Kalamata.
The stations are to be located on level, independent, non-adjacent plots of land measuring approximately 17 and 19 acres, located OUTSIDE THE ASPROCHOMATOS PROJECT, MUNICIPALITY OF KALAMATA, PRECINCT OF MESSINIA.
The supply includes all materials and work necessary to put the supplied PV Stations into operation. In addition, it includes all those accompanying works and equipment required to ensure the long-term smooth operation of the facilities that will not jeopardize the calculated revenues from them. The supply includes all parts described in the technical specifications and those not described if they are necessary for the Contractor to connect the PV station to the HEDNO network.
