The ability to register favorable pricing for the electricity they consume have the farmers through the special tariff “Gaia” established by the Ministry of Environment and Energy.

This is the tariff in which – as Minister Theodoros Skylakakis pointed out – the farmers should have submitted applications for inclusion “as early as yesterday” (the deadline for submitting applications expires on October 31)

The contracts for “Gaia” tariffs currently available to PPC are ten years duration with fixed fee for the first 2 years of the contract which ranges from 9.3 to 11 cents per kilowatt hour.

For the next 8 years, a fixed charge of 9 cents per kilowatt-hour is foreseen for one-third of the consumption and a purchase price for the remaining two-thirds, from whichever provider the consumer chooses at the time (detailed tariffs in the attached table).

GAIA agricultural products are available exclusively in Agricultural Provisions in Low and Medium Voltage and specifically concern:

  • Group of Producers / Organization of Producers / Union of Producers / Interprofessional Organization
  • Agricultural Cooperative / Compulsory Cooperative / Union of Compulsory Cooperatives / Joint Stock Partnership
  • Legal Entities or Sole Proprietors practicing Contractual Farming for the year 2023
  • Farmers by profession
  • Also, there should be no overdue debts until 31.12.2023 or they should have been settled.

It is also clarified that in case the customer terminates the contract before its expiry, he is charged with a withdrawal clause of 70 euros if he is a natural person or 700 euros if he is a legal person.

Those interested can find out more about PPC’s GAIA agricultural products, as well as the membership conditions, on the relevant page at dei.gr, or by calling toll-free at 800-500-7000.

The application for inclusion in GAIA agricultural products can be made in the specially designed platform of PPC.
