Greece is preparing to open tenders for solar-energy storage projects next year, according to reports by Renewables Now. The European country is expected to conclude plans by the end of 2023, for a February 2024 launch.
Unofficial reports claim Greece is parceling off between 200 MW and 300 MW of solar capacity in auctions. They will form a part of a 2 GW of solar project target with behind-the-meter energy storage components. The auctions come with mandatory battery storage capacity development.
The Greek government has decided to focus on battery energy storage in this round of auctions to bolster the grid by reducing renewable energy curtailment.
Greece recorded 11.3 GW of renewable energy capacity as of the end of June 2023. Solar took the lion’s share, with 5.8 GW capacity.
