HELLENIC INTERNATIONAL POWER GROUP MEETINGS

Mission

20231222_132019

The HIPG is formed by Greek power system engineers working abroad who want to share experience and technical expertise.

HIPG meetings take place every year just before Christmas.

During these meetings, an open seminar is given to the audience by invited power system engineers.

IEEE Greece PES Chapter is officially co-organizing these meetings since 2021.
