The Future of the Greek Market

Time: 09:55 - 11:10
Date: Day One

Synopsis

Greece’s revised National Energy & Climate Plan (NECP) targets 13.4 GW of installed PV capacity by 2030, nearly doubling the previous target of 7.7 GW​. The European Commission has approved Greece’s request to offer financial aid of €1 billion for two landmark renewable energy projects with integrated storage, set to be completed by mid-2025​. Greece added a record 1.6 GW of new solar capacity in 2023, bringing the total installed capacity to 7.1 GW. The country aims to more than triple its installed capacity to 29.6 GW by the end of the decade, offering a 5GW annual solar and wind market.

This session will start with a short presentation from Stelios Psomas, Policy Advisor at HELAPCO, then allow for discussion between the other speakers. 

  • What further government support is available to boost growth and achieve targets?
  • How have simplified authorisation processes affected the deployment and grid connection queue?
  • What can we expect from the upcoming renewable auctions, where does PV fit in?
  • Exploring the expectations of Greece’s 2024 Energy Auctions; a new development under the European Union’s cross-border energy trade for the EEA.
