The company is among the three most Sources The company constructs and operates wind farms, important companies of the sector and has recently achieved a significant expansion abroad. The previous year was one of the most important in the company’s history with small hydroelectric plants and integrated process units for the more than 130 MW of RES to have been installed within 2011 and 203MW within 2012. UPDATED COVERAGE overall management and energy utilization of wastes and •TERNA Energy S.A. was incorporated in 1997 parent company TERNA S.A. to undertake the TERNA Group's development of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) generation activities, in light of the opportunities arising from the Kyoto Protocol and the subsequent EU and national legislation biomass. prioritizing increased reliance on RES-generated electricity. The company focuses on developing wind power, and through locating and measuring wind conditions for suitable sites throughout Greece.

INVESTMENT RISKS -LIQUIDITY RISK: Low due to the kind of the product. The only threat comes from delays in payments from Lagie (former Desmie). -INTEREST RATE RISK: Medium but it has been increasing due to new debt that was be received. The company has been able to borrow at relatively low cost till a few years ago. Interest rates are increasing, however, due to the lack of liquidity in the Greek banking system although EURIBOR is at rather low levels. -CREDIT RISK: Medium due to a relative small number of clients. It has increased recently due to the liquidity problems of Desmie. -CURRENCY RISK: Medium for the moment. The expansion of the company abroad has increased this risk. The major currencies of interest are: Polish Zloty, Bulgarian leva and US Dollar. -PRICE RISK: Low, as far as Greece is a member of EU. It will become very high in the adverse scenario of Greece exiting EU.

The largest part of the produced energy comes from thermal power plants, mainly from coal (lignite) units which are not friendly to the environment while only a small part is produced through renewable sources plants. Greece currently covers around 4-6% of its gross electricity consumption by RES but these numbers will definitely increase substantially in the th th following years. Up to end 2011 Greece holds the 11 place among the European Union countries and 18 in the World. According to a EU directive, RES must cover 20% of total energy consumption by 2020. 2511 MW of RES were installed in Greece up to the end of 2011 while it is estimated that €1,35B were spent in 2011 for the installation of 775 MW of RES projects.
