How much solar power will Greece have by ?
Greece’s National Energy and Climate Plan sets out a target of expanding renewable capacity to 19 GW by with an estimated increase in capacity of 3.2 GW for solar PV & 2.9 GW for wind by this date. The largest solar PV plant in the country with a capacity of 0.2 GW, which cost 130m EUR to construct, was connected to the grid in April .
How much solar capacity will Greece have in ?
In , 1.4 GW of new PV projects were connected to the grid, bringing the cumulative capacity to 5.5 GW. This was the best performance ever for the Greek solar sector. Still, it looks modest if you compare it with the expected performance of the market in which should bring online around 1.7 GW of solar capacity.
How can Greece increase the use of renewable electricity in transport?
Supporting the use of electric vehicles is another way in which the Greek government is attempting to increase the use of renewable electricity in transport. In its National Energy and Climate Plan, Greece set out the aim to have a minimum of 8.7% by and 30% by of new car registrations to be electric vehicles.
How is storage regulated in Greece in ?
In , the Greek Parliament also passed a thorough regulatory framework for storage. Large-scale storage are selected through a bidding process, with a total tendered power capacity of 1,000 MW and at least 2.6 GWh of storage capacity.
Why is solar power growing in Greece?
However, the utility-scale and residential self-consumption segments are experiencing noteworthy growth for the first time. The bright weather across the country helped solar PV to contribute to some 13.6% of total Greek electricity production in , breaking yet another record.
How did the weather affect solar power in Greece in ?
The bright weather across the country helped solar PV to contribute to some 13.6% of total Greek electricity production in , breaking yet another record. This outshined the expected 13% share of solar in meeting gross electricity demand.
