Enaon, the Greek gas distribution subsidiary of Italy’s Italgas, plans to invest 1 billion euros between 2026 and 2032 to expand and digitally transform Greece’s natural gas distribution network, the company announced.More than 640 million will be allocated to expanding the network into areas not yet connected to the gas grid while preparing the infrastructure to accommodate renewable gases such as biomethane.Under the strategic plan, Enaon aims to build more than 2,700 km of new pipelines by 2032, increasing the total network length from about 8,700 km to more than 11,400 km. The expansion is expected to raise the number of consumers with access to the network from around 660,000 to more than one million.“With Enaon, we are developing Greece’s gas distribution networks for the future: fully digitalized, with real-time monitoring and management through the Athens Emergency Control Center,” Italgas Chief Executive Paolo Gallo said. He added that the integration of the DANA digital platform and the deployment of hydrogen-ready smart meters would enable the rapid adoption of renewable gases.Enaon Chief Executive Gianfranco Amoroso said the investment plan underscored the company’s long-term commitment to Greece and would expand access to modern gas infrastructure for households and businesses while supporting the country’s energy transition through digital technologies and the integration of renewable gases.Around 100 million euros of the investment will be dedicated to the digital transformation of the network. By the end of 2026, the company’s entire existing network is expected to be remotely monitored and operated, while artificial intelligence technologies already deployed by the Italgas Group in Italy will also be introduced across Enaon’s network.
