Kozani Municipality reports infrastructure updates and heating status

The Municipality of Kozani has completed a series of infrastructure interventions during the first half of October 2026. Key actions include road paving in several communities, such as Koilada, Drepanou, and Avgi Kapnochori, to improve road safety and mobility. Additionally, a project to upgrade park lighting with a budget of €297,042 has entered the tendering phase.

Regarding the local heating system, Panagiotis Matiakis, Chairman of the Board of DEYAK, addressed technical challenges facing the district heating network. He noted that the transition in thermal energy production due to lignite phase-out has introduced new technical issues. Matiakis emphasized that while the system is extensive and aging, the utility is working to resolve damages caused by technical shifts and third-party works, such as fiber optic installations.
