e-Dieleusis is Greece's first national digital platform for coordinating underground infrastructure works, helping public authorities and network operators plan projects more efficiently and transparently.
COORDINATING WORKS ACROSS THE CITY
Developed by the Ministry of Digital Governance and Artificial Intelligence and implemented through the General Secretariat of Telecommunications and Post, e-Dieleusis addresses the long-standing challenge of uncoordinated excavation works. Previously, telecommunications providers planned interventions independently, often resulting in repeated roadworks, higher costs, and inconvenience for citizens. The platform introduces a single entry point for rights-of-way requests, allowing municipalities and competent authorities to access and manage planned works more efficiently.
CREATING A DIGITAL FRAMEWORK FOR COLLABORATION
e-Dieleusis establishes Greece’s first fully digital system for coordinating underground infrastructure projects. By providing real-time information to municipalities, regional authorities, and specialised bodies such as archaeological and forestry services, the platform enables works to be grouped and planned collectively rather than in isolation. Combining technological innovation with institutional reform, the project creates a new framework for cooperation and lays the foundation for the future inclusion of electricity, water, natural gas, and sewage providers.
REDUCING DISRUPTION AND IMPROVING URBAN MANAGEMENT
The platform already delivers benefits for citizens, municipalities, and the urban environment. Better coordination reduces repeated excavations, helping to minimise traffic congestion, noise, and disruption caused by roadworks. At the same time, permitting procedures are accelerated, and authorities gain access to higher-quality data for planning and resource allocation. As the system expands to include all utility providers, e-Dieleusis has the potential to become a cornerstone of more efficient, transparent, and sustainable infrastructure management across Greece.
