The Kardia steam power plant ( Greek Ατμοηλεκτρικού Σταθμού (ΑΗΣ) Καρδιάς ) is a lignite power plant near the village of Pondokomi about 10 km north of the city of Kozani in the Western Macedonia region of northern Greece .
The power plant is 1200 MW of installed capacity , the second largest in Greece. About 10 km to the east is the country's most powerful power plant, Agios Dimitrios, with 1,589 MW .
It consists of four blocks with an installed electrical output of 300 MW each, which were put into operation between 1975 and 1981:
| block | I. | II | III | IV | total |
| electrical power | 4 × 300 MW | 1200 MW | |||
| Installation | 1975-1981 | - | |||
The operator is the large Greek electricity supplier Dimosia Epichirisi Ilektrismou (ΔΕΗ).
The lignite that is burned comes from the adjacent opencast mine near Ptolemaida about 10 km to the northeast , from where the fuel is transported directly to the power plant via belt conveyors . The nearby large-scale power plants Agios Dimitrios ( ΑΗΣ Άγιος Δημήτριος ), Ptolemaida ( ΑΗΣ Πτολεμαΐδα ), Amyndeo ( ΑΗΣ Αμύνταιο ) and Florina ( ΑΗΣ Φλώρινα ) are supplied from the same open pit or the same area .
