With a high subsidy of 60% rooftop photovoltaic installation for households. The program announced governmentaccording to what was announced yesterday by GC Energy Alexandra Sduku The Renewable & Storage Forum will focus on photovoltaic cells up to 10 kilowatts that will be combined with storage (batteries), and a policy advisory guide is also expected to be released in the next few weeks. MINISTRY promotes two more photovoltaic programs, one for self-generating installations in enterprises, with a total budget of 160 million euros, and one for strengthening the energy communities of municipalities, which will support vulnerable households and will be funded by 100 million euros.

According to Ms Sduku, additional measures are being taken to expand the electrical space and maximize the penetration RES, with three main areas: more stations based on existing capabilities, accelerated network upgrades and storage infrastructure. “Our goal is for the first 5 hours of 100% renewable energy, which our country managed to achieve a few days ago, to become the norm,” he said characteristically, noting that by 2026 we will install 20 GW, and we must manage the additional electric area 21 GW.

This will apply to photovoltaics up to 10 kilowatts, which will be combined with storage devices (batteries).

In the big discussion that started about RES in Forum Conference on Renewable Energy and Storage Government and market representatives were represented on all issues that still hamper the development of the sector, with networks and interconnections in the foreground, and ADMIE pointed to the need to shorten project timelines and extend international connections to Central Europe. To date, Greece has 10 gigawatts in operation and 12 gigawatts allocated electrical space with connection offers. Well, the total is 22 gigawatts, so it is necessary to plan what will be the continuation, and the bottom line is that projects with connection proposals must be feasible, stressed ADMIE Vice President Jason Margaris. “There are currently no construction sites for 12 gigawatts, so it is necessary for investors to delay the deadlines. ADMIE submitted a corresponding proposal to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for legislative regulation,” he said on this occasion. He also linked the development of renewable energy with storage, indicating that ADMIE would like more storage in the system from batteries and hydroaccumulators. As a third important issue, he mentioned the relationship and the need for reliable electricity corridors to the largest markets in Central Europe so that the country can become a major producer of green energy and possibly also transport volumes from Africa and the Middle East.

In addition, from the same conference room, Environment and Energy Minister Kostas Skrekas announced that Greece had submitted to Austria a proposal for a direct electrical connection via a cable that would transport 9 GW of green energy to the Nordic countries. Europe. The Minister emphasized that Greece is currently the 8th country in the world in terms of renewable energy, since the share of clean energy in the electricity mix is ​​already huge, reaching 46% this year, and the goal is to reach 80% by 2030 .
