#REDIRECT[[Kozani Prefecture]]
 
 
Kozani has been a prosperous area in the course of its history. Its merchants are once known to have dominated the commerce of the [[Balkans|Balkan peninsula]], expanding their trade activities to the north and along the Danube.
 
 
 
Kozani nowadays is still among the most prosperous areas of the Greek province, but for a different reason, its rich mining industry. Kozani produces [[lignite]], which is the main source of the [[electricity|electric power]] produced in Greece, [[Nitrogen|nitrous salts]] which are processed into [[fertilizer]]s, and [[chromium]]. There was also an [[asbestos]] mine that remained operational until the mid-[[1990s]], which has now ceased its operation.
 
 
 
In the prefecture of Kozani there is also the artificial lake and hydroelectric dam of [[Polyfytos]], which further contributes to the electricity production of Greece.
 
 
 
The region's vast industrial advancement in a short period of time has raised [[environmentalist]] concerns.
 
 
 
Kozani has three provinces.
 
 
 
It is bounded by the prefectures of [[Kastoria Prefecture|Kastoria]] to the west and northwest, [[Florina prefecture|Florina]] to the north, [[Pella]] to the northeast, [[Imathia]] and [[Pieria]] to the east, [[Larisa prefecture|Larisa]] (part of [[Thessaly]]) to the southeast, and [[Grevena prefecture|Grevena]] to the south.
