However, based on current policies, the country looks set to hit only 4.8GW of operational battery storage capacity by 2030, as shown in the above infographic from LCP Delta’s STOREtrack market intelligence platform covering energy storage across Europe.
Funding was first announced in 2021 as part of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan. Initially a response to the COVID 19 pandemic, the focus has pivoted to support Greece’s green energy transition. The storage auctions themselves require further approval under EU State aid rules.
• 467MW hydroelectric project with energy storage capacity of 9,646MW at northern Greece, Sfikias area, Imathia –managed and operated by PPC Renewables. • 156MW energy storage from hydroelectric plant of 150MW at western Macedonia, Mavropigi area, Kozani – managed and operated by PPC Renewables.
Initially a response to the COVID 19 pandemic, the focus has pivoted to support Greece’s green energy transition. The storage auctions themselves require further approval under EU State aid rules. The pipeline of prospective battery storage projects now approaches 27GW, with over 500 projects granted a storage license.
Greece has emerged as one of the countries with the largest pipeline of battery storage projects, but as yet there has been little activity on the ground. This is changing as the long-awaited storage subsidy auctions have started, with the first projects being awarded support for both investment and operating costs.
The Greek government anticipates that over 7 billion euro will be invested in the development of offshore wind parks to achieve the goal of Greece’s Energy Plan (ESEK) of 1.9GW.
