Electricity storage in Greece: State-of-play & near-term
The updated target for a renewable energy source (RES) share of ~80% in the electricity sector, set in the National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) that is currently being revised, cannot be met without substantially increasing the
Greece: 27GW of battery storage projects gear up for auctions
The need for storage in Greece will accelerate rapidly over the next decade as renewables targets are revised upwards and coal plants are closed. The pivot to gas, a core part of the country''s energy strategy just a couple of years ago, has been upended by the disruption to supplies and price volatility caused by Russia''s invasion of Ukraine.
Greece
The government has dedicated around 44 billion Euro to transform Greece''s energy sector and increase capacity from 9GW to 28 GW, in addition to tripling the volume for LNG storage. Greece''s electricity transmission and distribution system operators are investing billions of Euros in grid infrastructure and smart technology to be able to
