A total public investment of €15,350,380 has been allocated to support the modernization of Greece’s National Health System (ESY), with a focus on energy efficiency and the sustainable upgrade of hospital infrastructure across the country.
Given that healthcare and social welfare buildings—particularly hospitals—are among the most energy-intensive public facilities due to their uninterrupted operation, this initiative aims to significantly reduce energy consumption while improving building performance.
The program includes the second phase of the energy upgrade of the General Anticancer Hospital of Piraeus "Metaxa," with a usable area of 21,215 m², which will be upgraded by at least two energy classes, from D to B, with a public expenditure of €3,788,872.77.
Similarly, the General Hospital of Chania "Agios Georgios" will undergo a second-phase upgrade across 49,400 m², improving its energy classification from C to A and incorporating combined heat and power (CHP) systems and renewable energy technologies, with an investment of €5,398,092.75.
Finally, the second-phase upgrade of the General Hospital of Pella, covering the Giannitsa and Edessa units, will also target a two-category improvement from D to B, including the integration of renewable energy sources, with total public funding amounting to €6,163,415.07. These projects represent a strategic step toward enhancing the resilience, efficiency, and environmental performance of Greece’s public healthcare infrastructure.
