POWER STATION
The operation of those units was possible because of a steam engine of 600 horses. Very soon, the power needs of the Company were increased. A building of rectangular layout of 786 square meters built from stone and concrete and with 11 meters height housed the Central Power Station.
That building was one of the few buildings that were considered conservable with their equipment and were not torn down. Among their equipment there was a diesel machine type Μ.Α.Ν. of 600Hp power manufactured in 1927, its control panel made of marble, some more modern diesel machines and the gantry that existed. Today, the degeneration caused by time and abandonment is visible in its surface, while the biggest part of the equipment has been ransacked.
