Products Power Conversion Engineering Engineered for utility sub-stations, renewable integration hubs, maritime electrification, and heavy industrial distribution across Greece.
Strategic Insights for Procurement Managers, EPC Contractors, and Utility Engineers Operating in the Hellenic Republic.
Greece is undergoing an unparalleled energy metamorphosis. Driven by the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP / ESYEK), the country aims for renewables to generate over 80% of its electricity by 2030. This monumental shift places intense technical demands on the high and medium voltage equipment infrastructure managed by IPTO (Independent Power Transmission Operator - ADMIE) and HEDNO (DEDDIE).
High voltage equipment deployed within Greece must contend with severe environmental factors unique to the Mediterranean basin: high coastal salinity leading to rapid dielectric degradation, seismically active geological zones, and intense summer thermal ambient conditions often exceeding 45°C. Standard off-the-shelf equipment frequently fails without custom thermal derating, enhanced anti-corrosion surface treatments, and certified seismic resilience.
Engineering Advantage: Our high-voltage switchgear, cable assemblies, and power conversion components are pre-configured to meet IPTO (ADMIE) technical standards, featuring C5-M marine-grade anti-corrosion protection and optimized Basic Impulse Level (BIL) ratings for island and coastal sub-station deployment.

Combining Decades of Power Conversion Engineering Mastery with Dedicated Localized EU Logistics Support.
Engineered to international standards including IEC, UL, and ISO 9001. Designs undergo 100% full-load burn-in testing, partial discharge monitoring, and high-potential dielectric withstand verification prior to delivery.
When catalog specifications don't fit your exact footprint or grid code, our engineering team modifies baseline platforms—adjusting voltage trim, enclosure sealing, potting compounds, and thermal derating for fast qualification.
Streamlined export processing, CE documentation alignment, and coordinated freight handling directly to major Greek ports (Piraeus, Patras, Thessaloniki) to guarantee project deadlines are maintained.
Direct Answers to Common Questions from Hellenic Project Managers and System Integrators.
Yes. Our medium and high voltage switchgear assemblies (including the HXGN-12 and complete incoming/outgoing line cabinets) and instrument transformers are engineered to meet or exceed IEC standards required by IPTO (ADMIE) and DEDDIE. We provide full type-test documentation, partial discharge verification, and dielectric strength certifications necessary for grid interconnection approval in Greece.
Greece presents aggressive marine saline environments combined with summer ambient temperatures often exceeding 40°C-45°C. Our high voltage outdoor units utilize heavy porcelain or silicone rubber insulators rated for high creepage distance, along with optional C5-M marine-grade anti-corrosion coatings. Electrical components undergo specialized thermal derating to guarantee uninterrupted operation up to +70°C ambient temperatures without loss of insulation integrity.
Standard catalog products are dispatched promptly. For custom-engineered transformers (e.g., 66kV to 220kV range) or specialized armored XLPE cable lengths (8.7/15kV), prototype and production lead times typically range from 4 to 8 weeks depending on technical complexity. Expedited manufacturing channels are available for urgent utility repair or grid commissioning schedules.
Absolutely. We specialize in form-fit-function replacements for legacy switchgear, older oil-immersed transformers, and specialized high-voltage electronic components (such as diodes and ceramic capacitors). Our engineering team works directly from your existing dimensional blueprints and electrical schematics to design a drop-in replacement that meets modern safety codes.
Every shipment comes complete with CE Declaration of Conformity, factory acceptance test (FAT) reports, material safety data sheets, and comprehensive technical datasheets written in English. EU tariff classification codes and customs declaration documentation are pre-validated to ensure frictionless customs clearance at Piraeus or Thessaloniki ports.
