The sector of Electrical Installations in Greece – Trends and prospects

The sector of Electrical Installations constitutes a fundamental infrastructure for the green and energy transition of the economy. The safety and reliability of installations are becoming increasingly important due to rising demands from RES, electromobility, and advanced digital systems.

The sector is showing economic recovery, and in 2022 the Gross Value Added reached €787 million, the total contribution to GDP amounted to €4.07 billion, and employment reached 40.7 thousand jobs.

Despite the strong standards framework and the high technical expertise of professionals, there are gaps in its implementation, with insufficient inspections, non-systematic renewal of Electrical Installation Certificates (ΥΔΕ), and the presence of illegal installers without a license or certification. These undermine quality and create unfair competition.

The transition to safe and modern infrastructure requires stronger supervisory mechanisms, digital registries, continuous training, consumer awareness, and strengthening of domestic production of certified equipment.
