The standalone energy storage procurement process is set to launch during the third quarter of this year, Naim El Chami, senior analyst at consultancy Clean Horizon told Energy-Storage.news, with systems to be completed by end-2025. (The consultancy did a webinar with this site in late November about why Greece was developing into an important
The other project to partake from the Greek funding is a 309 MW solar PV park with an integrated lithium-ion battery energy storage system (BESS). This project aims to optimize electricity generation and grid stability. Greece will provide state aid to the selected projects under a 2-way contract for difference (CfD) arrangement for 20 years
Greece's subsidy support for winning energy storage projects in the upcoming tenders is generous. During the construction phase, all winning projects will receive a one-time payment of €200,000 per MW, which serves as a capital expenditure subsidy.
The program’s first and second tenders will focus on standalone energy storage projects connected to the Greek electricity transmission network. The tenders exclude the island network of Crete, which was linked to Greece’s mainland power grid in 2021.
The auction is part of Greece’s 1 GW energy storage program. The country announced its 1 GW energy storage program in the summer with three separate tenders featuring 400 MW, 300 MW and 300 MW of capacity. The first tender awarded 12 energy storage projects in August, with 411,79 ΜW of capacity in total.
For the first energy storage auction, the regulator has set a capped CfD price of €115,000 per MW per year. As a result, winning projects must participate in the energy market, such as Greece's wholesale electricity trading and secondary balancing services market. Each year, the government will assess the projects' market earnings.
