Integrated utility and telecom operator scaling renewables and grid digitalization across Southeast Europe
PPC is a large-scale integrated utility operating across five countries with 12.5 GW installed capacity and 8.6 million customers. The tech stack is conservative—SAP, Oracle, Power BI, cloud primitives (AWS, Azure, OCI)—but the project and pain-point lists reveal a company mid-transformation: rolling out billing systems, integrating BSS/OSS platforms, implementing emissions monitoring and carbon offsetting, and managing telecom provider interfaces for fiber and international cables. Engineering hires (16 open roles) outpace ops (7), signaling heavy technical debt around system integration and network modernization rather than pure growth scaling.
PPC is the largest energy supplier in Greece and Romania, operating a fully integrated utility model spanning generation, distribution, and retail of electricity and energy services. The group holds 12.5 GW of installed capacity, generating 21 TWh annually, with renewables now accounting for 6.4 GW installed and 3.9 GW in development. Beyond core power operations, PPC is building ancillary infrastructure: a nationwide fiber-to-the-home network, international telecommunications cables, and data centers. The company is headquartered in Athens and operates across Greece, Romania, North Macedonia, Italy, and Bulgaria. As a public company founded in 1950, it manages complex operational, regulatory, and legacy system constraints typical of incumbent utilities transitioning to digital and renewable energy models.
PPC's core stack includes SAP (ERP, ECC, S/4HANA, Fiori, Procurement), Oracle, Power BI for analytics, and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, OCI). Infrastructure runs on Kubernetes, OpenStack, VMware, with Linux, Python, Ansible, and Nginx for deployment and networking.
PPC has 6.4 GW of renewables installed capacity as of Q3 2025, with an additional 3.9 GW under development, as part of a commitment to phase out lignite by end of 2026.
