Greece s cumulative installed capacity of new energy storage

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. [pdf]

FAQS about Greece s cumulative installed capacity of new energy storage

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 many GW of battery energy storage will be installed?

However, its final decision is targeting a total of 4.7 GW of new utility-scale, front-of-the-meter, standalone battery energy storage projects. Of this capacity, 3.8 GW of batteries will link to the transmission network and 900 MW of capacity will be installed on the distribution network.

Is Greece preparing a new 3.5 GW energy storage program?

A decision published by Greece’s Ministry of the Environment and Energy in the State Gazette last Friday was a surprise for the domestic energy storage sector. The ministry ran a public consultation in late February, proposing a new 3.5 GW energy storage program.

What is the future of battery storage in Greece?

Overall, following last months public consultation, the Greek ministry of the environment and energy presented a bolder and even more ambitious battery storage program, allowing for longer completion times but retaining the financial and competition guarantees in place.

How much power will Greece have by 2030?

The government now aims for 2.65 GW of battery projects on the transmission grid and a further 900 MW on the distribution grid. According to the Greek National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), the nation aims to install 4.3 GW of storage by 2030.

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 .
