water shortage Greece

Water utility providers will be able to increase charges based on demand, climate, environmental, geographical and social conditions.

The goal is to assist local municipalities in managing water resources more effectively, not only by increasing supply through projects but also by improving demand management, such as enhancing storage and reducing losses, which can reach up to 40%.

Salinization of the water supply in the northern Greece coastal region of Halkidiki has been a problem for years, and it is getting worse.

The call for proposals, expected this autumn, targets Greek islands and will support hybrid systems that address both water scarcity and renewable power generation.

Greece is among the top 25 most water-stressed countries worldwide, increasing the potential for a water crisis
