HERON THERMOELECTRIC SA

The company

HERON is a Group of companies engaging in the production, supply and trading of electricity. Having started its operations in 2000, it is now supported by three large energy Groups.

HERON was established by the GEK TERNA Group, which is a leader in energy production from conventional and renewable (RES) sources in Greece and abroad. ENGIE (ex GDF Suez), i.e. the largest independent electricity producer and supplier in the world, entered its list of shareholders in 2009. Moreover, QATAR PETROLEUM (through QPI GAS & POWER OPC.), i.e. yet another global leader in the energy sector, successfully acquired a holding in the share capital of the HERON II power plant in March 2014.

HERON was the first private Group to operate in the Greek liberalized electricity market. It constructed and has successfully operated the first private power plant in Greece since 2004. It then set up a second combined cycle plant in 2009, at the same location.
