2.2 Significant Events of 2023 USE

New Independent Regulatory Authority

On March 28, 2023, Law 5037/2023 (Government Gazette A' 78) was published , whereby the supervision of EYDAP was transferred to the Ministry of Environment and Energy, while the supervision of the provision of water services and municipal waste management was assigned to the Waste Regulatory Authority, of Energy and Water (R.A.A.E.Y.).

The purpose of the law is the rational regulation of the provision of water supply and urban waste treatment services, in particular in terms of organization, services provided, their costs and pricing, through the assignment of relevant supervisory and control powers to the Regulatory Authority for Waste, Energy and of Water (R.A.A.E.Y.), as the Energy Regulatory Authority (R.A.E.) was renamed . In the same context, the responsibilities of water management and policy bodies are streamlined and updated, individual regulations are adjusted and a national water strategy is established.

EYDAP's pricing policy is implemented through the application of the general rules for costing and pricing of water services determined by a joint decision of the Ministers of Environment and Energy, Finance, Interior and Rural Development and Food, in accordance with the provisions of article 12 of Law 3199/2003 , as it was replaced pursuant to article 34 of Law 5037/2023. With the same JMD, the procedures and the method of recovering the cost of water services in the various uses are also determined, while the water service tariffs for the various categories of consumers and users are approved by a five-year decision of R.A.A.E.Y. in accordance with article 12A of Law 4001/2011, as introduced by Law 5037/2023, repealing the relevant provisions of paragraphs 1 and 2 of article 3 of Law 2744/1999. According to paragraph 5 of article 114 of Law 4812/2021 "the validity of EYDAP tariffs is extended. S.A. for the provision of water services it offers to its consumers, which have been approved by the joint decision of the Ministers of Finance, Transport and Networks and Environment, Energy and Climate Change (Β` 3188) under reference D6/2027/16.12.2013, for the period from 1.1.2019 and until the approval of the new tariffs based on the new contract in accordance with par. 2." Article 19 of Law 5106/2024 provided for the approval of EYDAP's tariffs for the various categories of consumers and users by decision of the Minister of Environment and Energy, until the staffing of R.A.A.E.Y.

Transfer of Majority shares of EYDAP from Growthfund to the Greek State

Article 64 of Law 5045/29/7/2023 (Transfer of EYDAP and EYATH shares from the Hellenic Holdings and Property Company to the Greek State) provided that all of the Superfund's ownership shares in EYDAP and EYATH are transferred to the Greek State. The transfer of 53,250,001 shares (50%+1 share) was completed on 3/8/2023.

Therefore, the total percentage of voting rights (directly and indirectly) controlled by the Greek State amounts to 65,319,740 (61.33%), of which the direct voting rights concern 53,250,001 common registered shares (50% + 1 share). and the indirect voting rights concern 12,069,739 (11.33%) common registered shares. The voting rights of the 12,069,739 common registered shares (11.33%) relate to the percentage of share capital directly held by HRAFT in EYDAP S.A. The Greek State universally controls 100% of the "Hellenic Holdings and Property Company S.A." (Growthfund) which, in turn, by controlling 100% of the HRAFT, indirectly controls the voting rights in question.

Reception of municipal networks and WWTP

On 1.9.2023, EYDAP took over the municipal water supply and sewerage networks and the Waste Water Treatment Plant of the city of Megara, the municipal sewerage network of the city of Nea Peramos and the municipal water supply networks of the areas of Kinetta, Vlychada (Agios Panteleimonas), Nea Zoi, Kandyli , Koumindriou, Lakka, Agia Triada, Iremo Kymato and Pachi with their associated facilities.

The entire water supply network has a length of 270 km of pipelines and supplies water to 13,500 facilities.

Accordingly, the sewerage network of the city of Megara and the area of Nea Peramos has a total length of 96 km of pipelines, which includes approximately 6,600 constructed external branches of properties.

The WWTP Megaron receives sewage through a network of sewage collectors from the city of Megaron and Nea Peramos as well as domestic sewage from areas that lack a sewerage network. The capacity of the constructed facility is 43,330 (I.P.) and the average daily design flow of incoming wastewater is 8,000 m3/d. According to the agency's records, in 2023, it treated an average of 1,900m3/d of municipal wastewater and 90m3/d of sewage.

The treated wastewater is disposed of by an underwater pipeline in the Saronic Gulf sea area, west of the Hersonissos of Ag. Triada at the "Almyres" location and at a depth of 30 m while the stabilized dewatered sludge, since EYDAP took over the installation, is transported to the WWTP of Psittalia for thermal drying.

The average daily design flow of incoming wastewater is 8,000 m 3 / d .

Secondary treatment with nitrogen removal and disinfection is carried out at WWTP Megaron. In 2023, it treated an average of 1,900 m 3/ d of municipal wastewater and 90 m 3/ d of sewage.

.

In mid-December 2023, the management and operation of the Koropi-Peania Wastewater Treatment Center was handed over to EYDAP.

The facility has the capacity to treat wastewater equivalent to a population equal to 99,486 i.c. In 2023, it treated an average of 1,750 m3/d of municipal wastewater.

In the already licensed project, the waste from the following areas is or will be directed:

  • Municipality of Paiana as a whole, including BIO.PA. Peanias.
  • The city of Koropi and the settlement of Karellas of the Municipality of Koropia, including the BIO.PA Koropi and Karellas and the wholesale area of Koropi.
  • The areas south of the Western Regional Avenue Ymittos of the Municipality of Pallini.
  • The settlement of Hamolias in the Municipality of Markopoulos - Mesogaia.

Expansion projects of the WWTP of Koropi-Peania are planned, concerning a future new treatment line (2nd treatment line) to accommodate the additional hydraulic and pollutant load of the sewage from the coastal areas of the Municipality of Saronikos & Kropias.

The facility carries out secondary treatment with nitrogen and phosphorus removal and disinfection. The treated wastewater is disposed of by a submarine disposal pipeline in the sea area of Hamolia in the South Euboean Gulf through a tunnel.

Remuneration Report of the Members of the Board of Directors of EYDAP SA 2023
