Its main purpose was to plan and apply a national energy policy which, through the exploitation of the domestic products and resources, would distribute cheap electric power to all Greek citizens. PPC started the integration of all the small local grids to the national interconnected grid. Furthermore, the corporation resolved the purchase of all the small private and local electric power production units.
Today, PPC Group consists of 5 subsidiary companies in Greece PPC S.A., the Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator (HEDNO or DEDDIE) S.A., PPC RENEWABLES S.A.,[6]
