This document presents one of the steps undertaken to realise the actions described above. It summarises the interaction with stakeholders in the context of the SENTINEL national case
Currently there are four (4) storage plants operating in Greece, two open-loop pumped-hydro storage (PHS) stations in the mainland (700 ΜW in total) and two small hybrid RES-storage stations in non-interconnected islands (just 3 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 .
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.
Amfilochia is the first project in decades, but we are now planning many more to build on its success. We hope to start another new pumped storage project in the next two years, and we currently have another large hydropower project in development. How do you see pumped storage hydro in terms of the clean energy transition for Greece?
The advanced pumped storage plant will act as a green battery by balancing fluctuations in power generation from wind and solar plants, thus ensuring the secure and stable operation of the Greek power grid.
In 2022 major interventions took place in the legal framework to establish the activity of electricity storage, with law 4951/2022 introducing the following: Typology of storage -FtM facilities and BtM storage in RES plants and prosumers. Streamlining of licensing procedure. Participation in all electricity markets.
