TERNA was founded in 1972 and since then it has been actively involved in the implementation of a broad spectrum of public and private projects of considerable budget and complex know-how, such as the construction of Railway and Highway networks, of high - quality office buildings, hospitals, museums, resorts, hydro-electric plants, dams, harbours, industrial facilities, etc.
In 1999, its merger with GEK S.A. - a company with an already dominant presence in the construction sector - and the establishment of a strong overall Group was a significant contributing factor to the further development of TERNA.
Today, TERNA is the construction and energy company of the GEK Group . Its strong and efficient organizational structure secures a dominant presence in important sectors of corporate activity.
In the sector of B.O.T., B.O.O.T and D.B.F.O. projects, with GEK SA being the concessionaire and TERNA the constructor, the Group is currently participating in the construction and operation of nine (9) Underground Car Parks. In addition, the GEK Group, through its participation in the "HELLENIC AUTOPISTAS" Consortium, is seeking to secure a significant share in the concessions offered by the Greek State for the construction and commercial exploitation of the large new Highway Axes of Greece.
Since 1997, in parallel to its construction activities, TERNA also built a strong presence in the power - production sector. Through its two subsidiary companies, TERNA ENERGY SA and HERON THERMO-ELECTRIC SA, it has been developing, licensing, financing, constructing and operating :
- wind parks

- Biomass- and waste- to - energy units
- gas- fired plants, thermoelectric stations and cogeneration units
In the Industrial sector, ????? is active in:

The solid and continuous development of TERNA brings significant added value to the GEK Group and it is fostered by the efficient implementation of major projects in top quality and high reliability. This ensures constant and long - lasting relationships with its clients and a significant share of the overall construction market.
Presently TERNA is focusing on the completion of major and complex infrastructure and building projects, that has already undertaken. Based on its solid domestic foundation, TERNA is now systematically and carefully strengthening its business activities in other countries.
