(Reuters) - Greece's biggest power utility Public Power Corp. (PPC) and Germany's RWE have taken a final investment decision to build five solar farms in Greece, the two companies said on Thursday.

The farms will cost 180 million euros ($196 million) and have a total capacity of about 200 megawatts (MW).

They are expected to be fully operational by the end of the first quarter of 2024, the companies said in a joint statement.

Power produced at the parks, which will be situated within a former open pit coal mine in northern Greece, will be sold to third parties via bilateral power purchase agreements of between 10 and 15 years.
