Commenting on the financial results of the period, Dr. Takis Athanasopoulos Public Power Corporation's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said:
" 2009 is turning out to be a year with good returns on assets, given prevailing favorable conditions compared to previous years, mainly attributed to the sharp drop in fuel and energy prices, the increased participation of lignite and hydro generation in the energy mix, as well as the drop in demand of low tariff customer segments.
