A decision published by Greece’s Ministry of the Environment and Energy in the State Gazette last Friday was a surprise for the domestic energy storage sector. The ministry ran a public consultation in late February, proposing a new 3.5 GW energy storage program.
The majority of the projects (2,650 MW) belong to Group Γ and will connect to ADMIE as follows per region. A key factor driving companies is that this large capacity will cover all the storage needs Greece will require by 2030.
Overall, following last months public consultation, the Greek ministry of the environment and energy presented a bolder and even more ambitious battery storage program, allowing for longer completion times but retaining the financial and competition guarantees in place.
An investment ‘fever’ is gripping the new energy storage sector as the ministerial decision was published yesterday (March 14, 2025), setting the rules for installations with a total capacity of 4.7 GW in our country. So far, three auctions have supported 900 MW projects with subsidies.
