Honorary Award to EDA THESS by the Hellenic Air Force (HAF) Headquarters

An honorary award was conferred by the HAF Squadron Commander, Lieutenant Colonel Mr. Georgios Tzikas to the General Manager of EDA THESS Mr. Leonidas Bakouras, in recognition of the substantial and effective work of the Company with regard to the completion of the connection of the Air Force (HAF) Headquarters to the natural gas distribution network.

During the ceremony, the General Manager highlighted the advantages of the transition to the use of natural gas, the environmentally-friendlier conventional fuel.  The extended use of natural gas plays a key role in improving energy efficiency, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and mitigating the environmental footprint.

Underlining the crucial role of natural gas in energy transition, Mr. Bakouras stressed that, in addition to being a bridging fuel, natural gas is the main vehicle for the prompt decarbonization of the economy, in full compliance with the NECP and the EU objectives on energy and environmental sustainability.  

Acknowledging the excellent collaboration with EDA THESS, Lieutenant Colonel Tzikas underlined that natural gas, being a cost-effective fuel, contributes to saving resources of the HAF Headquarters, thus enabling better financial management and less energy costs.
