CHP units, for combined heat and power generation, operate at all Group for contributing to the avoidance of significant CO2 emissions (following Figure), which would be emitted if the self-produced electricity was generated from a provider (such as PPC), using different fuel mix.
As presented in the Figure below, self-produced electricity constitutes 34% of the total electricity consumption in 2015.
Group total energy consumption, as show in Figure, is reduced by 12% compared with 2014 consumption, mainly due to the reduced operation of Aspropirgos and Elefsina refineries because of planned general maintenance (shut down periods).
