Powering the Future: Inside Athens'' Grid Energy Storage
Here''s what most engineers miss: The Athens grid energy storage system created 850 new jobs in Piraeus alone. From battery technicians to data poets (yes, that''s a real job
An increasing number of local and foreign companies are interested in building energy storage facilities in sun-loving Greece using battery technology. In fact, the Regulatory Authority for Energy (RAE) has been receiving applications for permits concerning battery storage plants.
According to the Greek National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), the nation aims to install 4.3 GW of storage by 2030. Thus far, 900 MW has been allocated via the Greek Regulatory Authority for Energy, Waste, and Water (RAAEY) tenders. Therefore, the remaining share would be delivered under the new plan but without any subsidy support.
Public Power Corp. (PPC) has also set its sight on storage and recently received a permit for a 100 MW project in Ptolemaida in Western Macedonia. Other companies include Magna Victoria, Melven, Mars BESS and MS Komotini, which have already received permits for a combined 400 MW of battery capacity in various large projects.
In fact, the Regulatory Authority for Energy (RAE) has been receiving applications for permits concerning battery storage plants. In total, Balkan Green Energy News reported, applications to RAE reached 1.6 GW during October's licensing cycle. This is on top of projects with 23.5 GW in total that were already submitted by over 300 companies.
The government now aims for 2.65 GW of battery projects on the transmission grid and a further 900 MW on the distribution grid. According to the Greek National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), the nation aims to install 4.3 GW of storage by 2030.
There will also be further expansion of the assembly plants in Verona, Italy and North Carolina, United States. The €20m for lithium-ion batteries will also see an assembly line for prototyping and R&D purposes alongside the three production lines for off-road mobility, industrial use, and Energy Storage for renewables.
