As of June, Greeks will be able to apply for a subsidy to turn their apartment building into a ‘smart’ one, Digital Governance Minister Kyriakos Pierrakakis said in an interview on Sunday, ANA reports.
Speaking to ‘Eleftheros Typos’ newspaper, Pierrakakis noted that the program Smart Readiness will upgrade telecommunications and the environment in Greece, and can benefit millions of citizens. “It relates to a subsidy to upgrade apartment buildings which do not have facilities for fiber optic lines,” he said. The subsidy would prepare a building for future installation of ‘smart’ public utility counters, such as for electricity or natural gas, and would collect data for the environmental impact of basic functions such as the elevator, along with providing high-speed internet.
