Greece 5w solar power system

Greece's National Energy and Climate Plan sets out a target of expanding renewable capacity to 19 GW by 2030 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 2022.

In particular, Greece has adopted an extensive law which cuts down the maximum capacity of solar power systems for households and business. which now can generate the maximum of 10 kw and 100 kW respectively. Concerning energy communities, two types will be created: renewable energy communities and citizen Energy Communities.

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 2024 and 30% by 2023 of new car registrations to be electric vehicles.

Greece currently does not have any offshore wind generation but the government has a target of 2 GW of offshore wind capacity by 2030.

In its National Energy and Climate Plan, Greece set out the aim to have a minimum of 8.7% by 2024 and 30% by 2023 of new car registrations to be electric vehicles. Support policies in place to try and increase uptake of electric vehicles include direct subsidies, reduced taxes and reduced registration fees.

To support this goal, in Aug 2022 the Greek Parliament approved the first Offshore Wind Law, chapter H (articles 65 to 80) of Law 4964/2022, which appoints the state owned company Hellenic Hydrocarbon Resources & Energy Resources Management to lead site investigation, allocation and concession development for offshore wind generation.
