DEDDIE to provide free LED bulbs to vulnerable households
- RE+D Magazine
The Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator (DEDDIE) is offering free, state-of-the-art, high-energy-efficiency LED light bulbs to vulnerable households in remote and border regions, providing practical support while encouraging the adoption of practices that promote more efficient energy use.
According to the Operator, the initiative is being launched in Western and Eastern Macedonia, Thrace and the islands of the northeastern Aegean.
Specifically, from 1 September through 31 December 2026, DEDDIE will provide a free package of six LED light bulbs to beneficiaries of the Social Residential Electricity Tariff (KOT) living in the designated areas.
The initiative combines social support with the promotion of energy efficiency, as the use of LED bulbs helps reduce electricity consumption and household energy costs.
The initiative forms part of DEDDIE’s ongoing commitment to implementing actions with a positive social and environmental impact, while contributing to national and European efforts to improve energy efficiency and advance the transition towards a sustainable energy system.
Beneficiaries of the Social Residential Electricity Tariff (KOT) residing in Western and Eastern Macedonia, Thrace and the northeastern Aegean islands will be able to collect their free package of six LED bulbs from their local DEDDIE service centres, between 08:00 and 14:00.
The following documents are required for collection:
National ID card or another identification document
A recent electricity bill
Through initiatives such as this, DEDDIE is supporting local communities, particularly vulnerable social groups, while linking social responsibility with energy efficiency and environmental protection, the Operator said.
