RES & Energy Storage in Greece: The Green Tank
These systems could also lower prices on the day-ahead market, where Greece has remained among the most expensive EU
Greece has initiated a series of competitive tenders to bolster its energy storage infrastructure, aiming to integrate significant battery energy storage systems (BESS) into its electricity grid. These tenders are part of a broader strategy to enhance grid flexibility and support renewable energy integration.
The much-awaited ministerial decree for zero-subsidy standalone battery systems has been published in Greece. So far, Greece has provided support to 900 MW of standalone storage projects under three previous auctions.
Sunny Greece struggles with an overabundance of solar generation, which creates a valuable opportunity for BESS (battery energy storage systems) to provide flexibility and relieve grid pressure. Greece has become a dynamic renewables market, rapidly scaling solar and wind deployments alongside EU-aligned energy reforms.
However, the effectiveness of electricity arbitrage in Greece is influenced by the day-ahead and intra-day market prices variations; thus, the identification of the optimal way of charging and discharging for each day is needed.
