Western Macedonia, Administrative region in northwestern Greece.

Western Macedonia encompasses 9,451 square kilometers of mountainous terrain and includes the regional units of Florina, Grevena, Kastoria, and Kozani.

The region transformed from a collection of prefectures into an autonomous administrative entity through the Kallikratis Programme implementation in 2010.

The University of Western Macedonia maintains multiple campuses across different municipalities, providing technical education and research facilities for regional development.

The region contains two industrial areas, one operational in Florina and another under construction in Kozani, connected by major highway networks.

Western Macedonia generates a substantial portion of Greece's electrical power through mining operations and power plants in its territory.
