DEPA Infrastructure was established in April 2020 following the partial demerger of Public Gas Corporation (DEPA)’s gas distribution branch. DEPA Infrastructure’s mission is to develop natural gas networks across Greece through its subsidiaries, i.e., EDA Attikis SA, EDA Thessalonikis – Thessalias SA, and DEDA SA, and safeguard natural gas supply.
Mr. Politis, Chief Executive Officer of HRADF, expressed his satisfaction with completing the agreement within about three months from the declaration of Italgas as the Preferred Investor and pointed out that “the Fund focuses on uplifting the state assets under its stewardship and creating added value by their development. The agreement for DEPA Infrastructure that we signed today serves this philosophy, and we expect to see the company growing dynamically under the roof of its new shareholder”.
