One of the major projects undertaken by the HELECTOR through participation in VEAL SA (50%), is the construction and operation of privately owned power cogeneration of electricity and heat from biogas in Ano Liosia Attica, one of the biggest stations worldwide with an installed capacity of 24 MWe. Meanwhile, HELECTOR has built and operates the corresponding unit at Tagarades Thessaloniki, with installed capacity of 5 MWe.

In the services sector, it is worth mentioning the collection and processing of packaging materials by 16 municipalities in the provinces of Nicosia and Limassol, Cyprus. Also, since May 2009 in the Municipality of Fyli, the company operates a private treatment facility that treats commercial and industrial waste and recyclables, with a capacity of 100.000 tons per year.

The presence of HELECTOR as a leader in waste management, is supported by the German subsidiary Herhof GmbH, which has developed innovative methods of drying organic compost in closed bioreactors that apply to more than a total of 50 installations worldwide.
