Description of Reforms and Investments A. COMPONENT 1.1: POWER UP This component of the Greek recovery and resilience plan targets reforms and investments to increase the weight of renewable energy sources in the electricity system and facilitate Greece’s process of decarbonisation. Reforms shall simplify licensing rules for renewable energy investment, make the electricity market more efficient, and secure the financial sustainability of support schemes. The component also includes key investments in networks to complete the interconnection with the Cyclades islands and make electricity distribution more environment-friendly and able to absorb a greater share of renewable energy. Storage systems shall also support the decarbonisation of the economy through accumulating surplus renewable electricity. Land rehabilitation shall also be supported in areas currently used as lignite mines, as a step of the just transition process in the territories most affected by the phase-out of lignite. The component is in line with the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) and supports addressing the country-specific recommendations on public and private investment (Country Specific Recommendation 3 of 2020 and Country Specific Recommendation 2 of 2019). It is expected that no measure in this component does significant harm to environmental objectives within the meaning of Article 17 of Regulation (EU) 2020/852, taking into account the description of the measures and the mitigating steps set out in the recovery and resilience plan in accordance with the Do No Significant Harm Technical Guidance (2021/C58/01).

Introduction Greek School Network (GSN) (http://www.sch.gr/en) is the national network of the Ministry of Education, Research and Religious Affairs (MoE) (http://www.minedu.gov.gr). GSN safely interconnects: all schools of Primary and Secondary education, including educational units located abroad, all services and entities supervised by the MoE at central and regional level, all service providers of lifelong learning, all pupils and teaching staff, all other educators and institutions of MoE. GSN enables MoE to provide the educational community with qualified e-learning, communication and collaboration services, e-gov, as well as user support and assistance services in all schools in the Greek territory. Through GSN, the MoE provides the educational community with e-learning, communication and collaboration services, e-government services as well as helpdesk and user technical support services. Therefore, GSN provides electronic services to more than 284.000 users (>22.517 accounts for schools and administrative units, >112.000 teachers, >115.000 pupils). The GSN is the largest public network in Greece in terms of users that it serves. In particular, interconnects a community of 1.350.000 pupils and 160.000 teachers. This is performed through free broadband connections that are provided in all public schools and administration offices across Greece. The connection technologies used are VDSL & ADSL and optical fibers. The GSN applies state of the art web technologies and is one of the first five school networks in the world that adopted IPv6 protocol.

  • How the Economic Crisis in Greece Affected the Steps in Applying E
    Journal of Governance and Regulation / Volume 2, Issue 4, 2013 HOW DID THE ECONOMIC CRISIS IN GREECE AFFECTED THE STEPS IN APPLYING E-GOVERNMENT AT THE FIRST DEGREE SELF GOVERNMENT OF GREECE Dimitrios S. Goulas*, Georgia N. Kontogeorga** Abstract Greece, in the frame of appliance of e-Government, the last years has made significant steps which have changed the way its public services work and especially the local self government, which is represented by municipalities. Many countries, not only in the European Union but also throughout the world, are adopting decentralization reforms in order to empower local communities. In Greece specially, the economic crisis that started from 2009, gave one extra motivation to use decentralization to make local self government more efficient. Decentralization is the process of transferring authority, responsibility and accountability from central to local governments. To accomplish this, Greek government applied the Law 3852 «Kallikratis plan», instituted in 2010, reforming the local self administration and its duties. The purpose of this paper is to present the consequences of this change to the e-government steps that were done before «Kallikratis plan». Keywords: E-Government, Local Self-Government, Economic Crisis * Department of Organising and Standards, Municipality of Patras, Greece E-mail: [email protected] ** Hellenic Court of Audit, University of Patras, Campus Rio-Patras, Greece E-mail: [email protected] Introduction regions and 325 municipalities. The regions and municipalities are fully self-governed while the E-Government is defined by the EU organisation as decentralized administrations are run by a general the use of information and communication secretary appointed by the Greek government.
