HERON anticipated the liberalisation of the electricity market since 2000. Today, the total installed capacity of its two (2) gas-fuelled power plants amounts to 582 MW.
HERON has been an established leading player in the field of electricity production for more than a decade, through HERON ENERGY S.A. (HERON I) and HERON II VIOTIAS S.A. (HERON II). HERON is the first group to make an investment of this magnitude in Greece, because it anticipated the liberalisation of the electricity market since 2000. Currently, the total installed capacity of its two (2) gas-fuelled power plants amounts to 582 MW.
HERON I, with a capacity of 147 MW, comprises three (3) gas turbines, 49 MW each. This plant has a unique feature compared to other domestic power plants, which provides an important advantage for the interconnected Greek system: its starting velocity delivers the turbine’s maximum power output in merely 20 minutes!
3 gas turbines, 49MW each
4 kilometres south of the city on the old Thiva to Elefsina national road.
Flat surface with gentle slopes, altitude 295 m.
HERON II, with a capacity of 435 MW, is one of the most state-of-the-art and technologically-advanced power plants in its field. Considering that the average output of gas-fuelled power plants in Greece does not exceed 54%, HERON II’s 58% output instantly ranks the plant at the top technological echelons. The plant’s high output means less fuel consumption, leading to less carbon (CO2) emissions; as a consequence, HERON II is an environmentally-friendly power plant second to none, with the exception of renewable energy sources.
1 290MW gas turbine, 1 waste heat recovery boiler and 1 145MW steam turbine.
