Will PPC group build a new energy storage station in Bulgaria?
About two months ago, PPC Group announced the commencement of construction of an energy storage station with a nominal capacity of 25 MW and installed capacity of 55 MWh in neighboring Bulgaria.
How long should energy storage be in a Greek power system?
Considering the energy arbitrage and flexibility needs of the Greek power system, a mix of short (~2 MWh/MW) and longer (>6 MWh/MW) duration storages has been identified as optimal. In the short run, storage is primarily needed for balancing services and to a smaller degree for limited energy arbitrage.
Will Greece install 900 MW of storage by ?
According to the Greek National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), the nation aims to install 4.3 GW of storage by . 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.
