Ptolemaida V represents one of the most significant energy infrastructure projects in Southeastern Europe, serving as the fifth and most advanced unit of the Ptolemaida Power Station. As a cornerstone of Greece’s strategic energy transition, this ultra-modern lignite-fired plant was designed to provide a massive, stable base load to the national grid while significantly reducing the environmental footprint compared to older generation units.
NAMA played a specialized role in the technical realization of this gigaproject, providing the essential geospatial foundation required for a facility of this magnitude.
Geospatial Precision and Engineering Support
The construction of Ptolemaida V was a feat of industrial engineering, where NAMA’s expertise in data acquisition and mapping ensured the project’s physical accuracy:
- Power Output and Efficiency: The station boasts a gross capacity of approximately 660 MW of electrical power, along with 140 MWth of thermal capacity dedicated to the district heating needs of the local Ptolemaida populaion.
- Topographical Surveys and Mapping: NAMA was responsible for the comprehensive topographical surveys and mapping services. This work provided the high-accuracy terrain data and spatial frameworks necessary for the precise placement of the plant's massive industrial components and utility networks.
- Innovative Environmental Controls: The unit is equipped with advanced supercritical technology and state-of-the-art flue gas treatment systems, designed to achieve higher efficiency rates and lower CO2 emissions per megawatt-hour produced.
- Industrial Infrastructure Coordination: By delivering detailed mapping and surveying, NAMA enabled the seamless coordination between international contractors and specialized engineering firms throughout the complex construction phase.
A Landmark in Industrial Infrastructure
With a total investment exceeding 1.4 billion euros, Ptolemaida V is a benchmark for modern industrial construction. The project required absolute precision to meet the rigorous safety and performance standards of the Public Power Corporation (PPC).
For NAMA, involvement in the Ptolemaida V Energy Station underscores our capacity to provide high-level surveying and mapping services for the most demanding energy projects. Our contribution ensured that the structural and mechanical components of this critical facility were integrated with mathematical exactness into the existing landscape.
