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.
Currently there is a growing interest for investments in storage facilities in Greece. Licensed projects mostly consist of Li-ion battery energy storage systems (BESS), either stand-alone or integrated in PVs, as well as PHS facilities .
Supporting the use of electric vehicles is another way in which the Greek government is attempting to increase the use of renewable electricity in transport. In its National Energy and Climate Plan, Greece set out the aim to have a minimum of 8.7% by 2024 and 30% by 2023 of new car registrations to be electric vehicles.
Considering the energy arbitrage and flexibility needs of the Greek power system, a mix of short (~2 MWh/MW) and longer (>6 MWh/MW) duration storages has been identified as optimal. In the short run, storage is primarily needed for balancing services and to a smaller degree for limited energy arbitrage.
The rest of the list comprises Amber Energy (18 MW), Plain Solar (7.9 MW), Enercoplan (25 MW), Arkadia Storage (10 MW), Heliothema (10 MW) and Ardassa Energy (18 MW). The facilities will be installed in the Western Macedonia region in northern Greece and in the municipalities of Megalopolis, Tripoli, Gortynia and Oichalia in the Peloponnese region.
In the last five years, the share of renewables in the country’s electricity mix grew by more than 15 percentage points, reaching over 50 percent in 2023.
