So far, Greece has provided support to 900 MW of standalone storage projects under three previous auctions. The new plan, prepared by the Ministry of the Environment and Energy, calls for installing 4,700 MW of standalone battery projects across the country, equal to the entire projected capacity. .
With a new regulatory framework allocating 4,700 MW of connection capacity for storage projects, Greece aims to reduce renewable energy curtailment and ensure grid stability. However, the solar sector warns that at least 8 GW of storage will be needed to prevent significant financial losses. Greece. .
While Greece currently has virtually no utility-scale battery storage capacity installed, the country’s project pipeline points to explosive growth in the coming years. The rapid growth of Greece’s storage market is driven by a combination of factors, including Greece’s heavy reliance on fossil gas. .
The ministry ran a public consultation in late February, proposing a new 3.5 GW battery energy storage system (bess) program. However, its final decision battery energy storage system (bess) new utility-scale, front-of-the-meter, standalone battery storage projects. Of this capacity, 3.8 GW of.
