Greek Chemical Energy Storage Power Station
📌

Should Greece invest in energy storage facilities?

Currently there is a growing interest for investments in storage facilities in Greece. Licensed projects mostly consist of Li-ion battery energy storage systems (BESS), either stand-alone or integrated in PVs, as well as PHS facilities .

📌

Which energy storage stations are being built in western Macedonia?

PPC Group is beginning the construction of two new energy storage stations (BESS) in Western Macedonia, in Northern Greece. The first one is "Melitis 1" station with a total installed storage capacity of 48 MW/96 MWh, which will be constructed in the vicinity of the photovoltaic plants to be developed by the Company in Western Macedonia.

📌

How many storage plants are there in Greece?

Currently there are four (4) storage plants operating in Greece, two open-loop pumped-hydro storage (PHS) stations in the mainland (700 ΜW in total) and two small hybrid RES-storage stations in non-interconnected islands (just 3 MW).

📌

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.
