After years of leading southern Europe in solar power expansion, the country is now shifting its focus to energy storage, a critical move to ensure flexibility, grid stability, and continued momentum in renewables deployment. With solar installations growing rapidly, pushing national capacity. .
Incentives for renewable energy projects include feed-in tariffs, feed-in premiums, and financial support for self-consumption projects such as net metering and virtual net metering. Various financial support programs are available, including schemes for rooftop solar panels and solar PV. .
While Solar Power Europe confirm that solar energy continues to grow across the EU, with 65.5 GW of new solar capacity installed in 2024 – representing a 4% increase over the previous year, it is a slow down but solar can just about be on the track to meet EU’s target. Greece can help. It is. .
Greece has entered 2025 with a renewable energy sector that is simultaneously thriving and troubled. Installed capacity has climbed to record levels, with solar photovoltaics and wind power providing a growing share of the country’s electricity. The government’s ambition to make Greece a. .
Presenting to the Special Standing Committee on Environmental Protection of the Hellenic Parliament on June 25, 2025, Nikos Mantzaris, policy analyst and co-founder of The Green Tank, highlighted Greece’s remarkable progress in renewable energy (RES) and the urgent need to scale up storage. .
With a new regulatory framework allocating 4,700 MW of connection capacity for storage projects, Greece aims to reduce renewable energy curtailment and ensure grid stability. However, the solar sector warns that at least 8 GW of storage will be needed to prevent significant financial losses. Greece.
