So much solar, so little storage: Greece is struggling to balance PV overproduction – a valuable opportunity for BESS to provide flexibility. In light of Greece's announcement to launch a 4.7 GW utility-scale storage program, this article explores the Greek power market with a focus on renewable.
On 13 March 2025, the Greek government issued Ministerial Decision ΥΠΕΝ/ΓΔΕ/28255/1143 (Government Gazette 1248/B/13.03.2025) on the priority regime for the final grid connection of standalone BESS projects. The decision describes the conditions a BESS owner has to meet to submit a “priority”.
