GREECE —Greece's Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport has officially issued an international competitive tender with an estimated contract value of EUR 47.78 million for the completion of the Nestori Dam in Kastoria, along with its accompanying infrastructure projects. The Ministry of Infrastructure and Transport is the primary public authority in Greece responsible for planning, developing, and executing national transport networks, public works, and large-scale hydraulic infrastructure across the country. With approximately 20 percent of the total technical scope implemented under prior contracting, this flagship civil engineering initiative aims to finalize the construction of the major water storage facility located on the Aliakmonas River in Nestorio, Kastoria.
This development marks a vital step forward for northern Greece's regional water security, climate resilience, and economic sustainability. By securing reliable irrigation across 75,000 acres, the completed reservoir will enable local farmers to transition from traditional dry crops to higher-value agricultural production, particularly legumes and vegetables. Furthermore, the inclusion of a small hydroelectric power unit aligns with broader environmental policy objectives by combining renewable energy generation with public water resource management, establishing a resilient infrastructure model against seasonal water volatility.
For international engineering, procurement, and construction contractors, civil engineering enterprises, and specialized hydraulic technology providers, the project presents substantial commercial opportunities in specialized rockfill dam construction, tunneling, shotcrete stabilization, and hydro-power works. The restart of this strategic asset reinforces investor confidence in regional infrastructure modernizations and highlights growing market potential in Southeastern Europe's public works sector.
