An investment ‘fever’ is gripping the new energy storage sector as the ministerial decision was published yesterday (March 14, 2025), setting the rules for installations with a total capacity of 4.7 GW in our country. So far, three auctions have supported 900 MW projects with subsidies.Why is Greece focusing on energy storage?Greece has been actively focusing on energy storage since the emergence of the RES “boom” in 2020. The country recognised the pivotal role of energy storage in the energy transition and emphasised its importance in the first iteration of the country’s National Energy and Climate Plan in 2019.
Should Greece invest in energy storage facilities?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 .
Will Greece install 900 MW of storage by 2030?According to the Greek National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), the nation aims to install 4.3 GW of storage by 2030. Thus far, 900 MW has been allocated via the Greek Regulatory Authority for Energy, Waste, and Water (RAAEY) tenders. Therefore, the remaining share would be delivered under the new plan but without any subsidy support.
How long should energy storage be in a Greek power system?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.
Why is electricity storage important?Electricity storage plays an important role in the transition to a low carbon economy and drives energy efficiency while at the same time allowing the integration of more renewable energy sources into the electricity system.
How does storage work on Greece's islands?The introduction and development of storage on Greece’s islands that are that are not connected to the mainland power system is quite different, as it is currently only possible via hybrid stations (i.e. virtual production stations consisting of renewable energy resources and storage units operating as single distribution entitie
