Prior to the establishment of PPC, the right to generate, transmit and distribute electricity had been assigned by the Greek Government to private and municipal companies. PPC started its operation in 1953 by generating and selling electric energy to the abovementioned private and municipal companies. During the period 1957-1963, the Company bought out the above electric companies, including the Electric Company of Athens-Piraeus Ltd, which used to service the largest urban area of Greece and was generating a significant percentage of the total electricity consumed in the Greek market. The Laws 1559 and 2244 which were enacted in the years 1985 and 1994 respectively, provided for a relevant exception from PPC’s exclusive right in electricity generation mainly in order to give the right to industrial companies to generate electricity for their own use. Moreover, the said legislation allowed individuals to generate electricity from renewable sources and cogeneration exclusively for commercial use. By virtue of Law 2773/1999 concerning the liberalization of the electricity market and pursuant to the PD 333/2000, PPC, as of January 1st 2001, was converted into a societe anonyme wholly owned by the Greek State having as main purpose the generation and supply of electric energy.

Climate change is expected to increase the risk of high drought frequency and duration. The Mediterranean region has been characterized as one of the main climate change “Hot-Spots” while it is quite vulnerable to its effects. The increasing frequency of extreme drought events in comparison to the past conditions constitutes one of the biggest concerns. The present PhD thesis focuses on the study of drought phenomena on the island of Crete. At first, combined methodology helped investigating the influence of elevation and longitude on precipitation distribution, offering valuable information about the linkage between these geographical factors and droughts.

Inhalt von Studien sind Anstieg und Fall des Meeresspiegels, tektonische Veränderungen, die Alluviation der Ebenen, der Einschnitt und Verlauf der Flüs- se, Größenveränderungen der Seen und die Evidenz von Vulkanausbrüchen in Südthessalien. Von Bedeutung waren auch anthropogene Effekte wie die Entwal- dung der Landschaft, wogegen klimatologische Veränderungen eine geringere Rolle gespielt haben. Letztendlich zeigen diese Studien auch, daß Fundplätze aufgrund der Alluviation verschüttet sein können.1 Am pagasäischen Golf fand eine ständige Verlandung durch das Schwemmaterial der Flüsse statt.

  • Chapter 11 Agia Galini to Preveli
    11: AGIA GALINI TO PREVELI CHAPTER 11 AGIA GALINI TO PREVELI To the west of the flat beach of Dibaki1 the hills again come down to the sea, and between them the valley which drains the Amari valley, the Platypotamos, debouches. At its mouth, near the site of the ancient Sulia, is the new settlement of Agia Galini, formed by people who have come down in recent years from Melabes [elsewhere Melambes]. The Mesara plain and the Amari valley both need a port. Matala is too small. The Minoan port to the north of it is now of no use.2 Boats can land either at Kokkinos Pyrgos on the Dibaki beach or at Agia Galini. Neither of these is more than an open roadstead, and sometimes one is used, sometimes the other according to the weather. The official name of the little village is Agia Galini, Αγία Γαλήνη, but popularly, Xanthoudidis told me, it is called Agios Galinios.3 A native of the mother village, Melambes, whom I met at Hersonnesos where he was acting as local justice of the peace, told me the legendary story of the name. 9/XII/17. The Empress Eudocia (Athenais), the wife of Theodosios II, had a quarrel with Pulcheria and was banished to the αγίους τόπους (the Holy Land). A storm arose and she landed at the site of Agia Galini and founded a convent of nuns dedicated to the Virgin. When this was done the storm ceased and so the place got its name. The Empress then left for the Holy Land.4 A little way to the east of the village and on the west side of the river near its mouth lies the cemetery.
