On June 2, 2020, the Public Power Corporation S.A. (PPC) decided to implement a voluntary retirement programme, by providing financial incentives to employees due to the closure of lignite plants (mines and stations) in Western Macedonia. Extra motivations for engaging in the voluntary retirement include the provision of an additional amount of 20,000 euros in addition to the legal compensation. The programme is addressed to employees aged 55 and over, who work in the lignite plants of Western Macedonia and its mines. According to reports, almost 700 PPC employees meet the criteria and have expressed interest to enter the programme.
