In fact, the EU's National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) prescribes that, by 2030, over 80% of Greece's electricity mix will be made up of renewable sources. For solar PV, which takes a leading role, an upgraded target of 14.1 GW of PV capacity was set for 2030.
The new law has also put an end to feed-in tariffs for solar projects up to 500 kW in size. Developers of such installations with the necessary licenses can sign contracts with Greece’s Renewable Energy Sources Operator and sell the generated electricity in the electricity market at a feed-in tariff of €65.73 ($71.37)/MWh.
The Greek PV market has recently experienced a jump in new PV installations, having tripled the amount of new installations. Leave us your email address and we will make sure you are always up to date about the latest developments, our upcoming event and exclusive promotional offers.
