Battery Energy Storage Auctions in Greece Auction details RAE''s announcement for Auction 1 expected One-off CAPEX support of €200k/MW for Auctions Single-stage bidding in
The average cost for sodium-ion cells in 2024 is $87 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), marginally cheaper than lithium-ion cells at $89/kWh. Assuming a similar capex cost to Li-ion-based battery energy storage systems (BESS) at
Industry projections suggest these costs could decrease by up to 40% by 2030, making battery storage increasingly viable for grid-scale applications. The European market stands at a pivotal point, with several
The cost of doing business The rapid proliferation of energy storage onto the U.S. grid can be credited (at least partially) to the declining price of lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. Globally, battery prices just sustained their
The cost of lithium-ion batteries per kWh decreased by 20 percent between 2023 and 2024. Lithium-ion battery price was about 115 U.S. dollars per kWh in 202.
On average, the cost of lithium-ion battery cells can range from $0.3 to $0.5 per watt-hour. For a 2MW (2,000 kilowatts) battery storage system, if we assume an average
Projects with a combined capacity of 299.8 MW are the final winners in Greece''''s second tender for battery energy storage systems (BESS) capacity, according to official data released by the
Projects with a combined capacity of 299.8 MW are the final winners in Greece''s second tender for battery energy storage systems (BESS) capacity, according to official data released by the Regulatory Authority (RAE).
An increasing number of local and foreign companies are interested in building energy storage facilities in sun-loving Greece using battery technology. In fact, the Regulatory
The cost of 1 megawatt (MW) of energy storage varies significantly based on numerous factors such as technology type, geographical location, installation costs, and additional equipment expenses. 1. The average
A battery energy storage system (BESS), battery storage power station, battery energy grid storage (BEGS) or battery grid storage is a type of energy storage technology that uses a group of batteries in the grid to store electrical energy.
Wider deployment and the commercialisation of new battery storage technologies has led to rapid cost reductions, notably for lithium-ion batteries, but also for high-temperature sodium-sulphur
Executive Summary In this work we describe the development of cost and performance projections for utility-scale lithium-ion battery systems, with a focus on 4-hour duration
Last week, Greece''s Regulatory Authority for Energy had announced 48 provisional projects in the country''s second energy storage auction, totaling 1.5 GW/3.1 GWh.
The energy losses in a battery storage system can range from 5% to 20%, depending on the technology and operating conditions. Assuming an average energy loss of
The Greek energy regulator has awarded 300 MWof new battery storage capacity in the nation''s second energy storage tender,split among 11 projects. The tender is part of the country''s 1 GW

Home » News » Renewables » Greece awards 188.9 MW for subsidized battery storage in final auction Greece's third energy storage auction has been completed, with nine projects selected and a capacity of 188.9 MW.
With costs fast declining, sodium-ion batteries look set to dominate the future of long-duration energy storage, finds AI-based analysis that predicts technological breakthroughs based on global patent data. Sodium-ion batteries’ rapid development could see long-duration energy storage (LDES) enter mainstream use as early as 2027.
Assuming a similar capex cost to Li-ion-based battery energy storage systems (BESS) at $300/kWh, sodium-ion batteries’ 57% improvement rate will see them increasingly more affordable than Li-ion cells, reaching around $10/kWh by 2028.
It was the final auction where the state provides subsidies to build battery energy storage systems (BESS). A total of almost 800 MW in capability has been awarded through all three storage auctions. In the latest bidding, nine projects with a four-hour storage duration have been selected for a total capacity of 188.9 MW.
Investors will be expected to submit progress reports every three months to ensure timely construction. Greece’s first energy storage tender took place last year. It awarded 12 energy storage projects, or 411,79 ΜW of capacity, with an average price of €49,748/MW per year.
The landscape of utility-scale battery storage costs in Europe continues to evolve rapidly, driven by technological advancements and increasing demand for renewable energy integration. As we’ve explored, the current costs range from €250 to €400 per kWh, with a clear downward trajectory expected in the coming years.
