Sustainability Indices of Thermal Electrical Power Production in Greece

The present paper provides some evidence regarding the thermal electrical power production sector of Greece evaluating performance indicators as signposts of sustainability. The methodology used was data envelopment analysis applied for each one of the yearly activities of thermal electrical power production sector. In the present study two evaluations are carried out. The first one takes into account only corporate data (i.e., inputs and outputs of production process), though in the second one environmental impact data (i.e., NOx and SO2 emissions) are also included. According to the results, in the late 1980s the performance of Public Power Corporation, the exclusive electricity producer, was efficient compared to the previous yearly activities considered here.
