DESFA is responsible and the main operator of the National Natural Gas Transmission System (NNGS) in Greece with the aim to best serve its users with safety, reliability, efficiency and adequacy. In this context, DESFA offers major market players regulated, from RAE, services of the NNGS, as well as non-regulating services, through the important know-how it has developed.

Contributing decisively to the security of supply and the diversification of supply sources of the wider region, DESFA also facilitates the development of competition in the Greek energy market, while systematically striving for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
