The programme called "Storage Systems in Businesses" will allow commercial and industrial (C&I) parties to receive grant funding for new projects that envisage coupling
The Greek Ministry of Environment and Energy''s Storage Systems in Businesses program opened this week for the submission of applications, with a budget of EUR 153.7 million ($157.7 million).
The solar power system must be installed on a residential or commercial property. The solar power system must have a capacity of at least 1 kilowatt (kW). The solar power system
Energy storage is also expected to play a prominent role according to the revised plan with the government aiming for 5.3 GW energy storage capacity by 2030 and up to 24.8 GW by 2050.
The electric utility, Greece''s largest corporation, accounts for around 70% of the domestic electricity retail market but holds a much smaller chunk of the power generation mix.
A single subsidy will cover the supply and installation of the energy storage system and accompanying equipment, such as cables and smart meters, as well as the energy management system. It will also cover the cost of the system dimensioning, project management consulting, and connection with the Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator

Greece is targeting 28 GW of total renewable energy capacity by 2030 in the country, to be scaled up to 65 GW by 2050. Solar PV''s share under its National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP) is 14.1 GW by 2030 and 34.5 GW by 2050. Greece also aims for 5.6 GW battery energy storage capacity of 5.6 GW and 23.3 GW, respectively.
The Greek energy regulator has awarded 300 MW of new battery storage capacity in the nation''s second energy storage tender, split among 11 projects. The tender is part of the country''s 1 GW
Chen et al. price subsidy for energy storage battery-microgrid system Price subsidy for energy storage is more effective than microgrid subsidy. As an effective zero-emission alternative to natural gas, hydrogen as energy carrier, based on existing gas network infrastructure, can become one of promising solutions to address the environmental issues.
The European Commission has approved, under EU State aid rules, €1 billion Greek measures to support two projects for the generation and storage of renewable energy in Greece.
The main players involved in power generation include the state-controlled Public Power Corporation S.A. (PPC), which is the main electricity producer in the country, operating a large part of the lignite and hydroelectric power plants, as well as many private companies, which have recently entered the market, mainly, in the renewable energy generation sector.

The scheme will be backed with funding from Greece's Recovery and Resilience Facility. A guide to the programme is available on the Ministry's website. According to the government's estimates, beneficiaries of the scheme will lower their electricity bills by up to EUR 3,000 per year.
The measures contribute to achieving Greece's climate and energy targets, as well as the objectives of the European Green Deal and 'Fit for 55' package, by enabling the integration of renewable energy sources in the Greek electricity system.
Greece has been actively focusing on energy storage since the emergence of the RES “boom” in 2020. The country recognised the pivotal role of energy storage in the energy transition and emphasised its importance in the first iteration of the country's National Energy and Climate Plan in 2019.
Under the plan, households will be able to seek funding to cover up to 75% of the costs needed to install PV panels at auxiliary building areas or mount them atop their dwellings, whereas farmers will receive support for up to 60%. The individual subsidy to be granted can be a maximum of EUR 16,000 for households and EUR 10,000 for farmers.
The Commission adopted in March 2023 a list of recommendations to ensure greater deployment of energy storage, accompanied by a Staff Working Document, providing an outlook of the EU's current regulatory, market, and financing framework for storage and identifies barriers, opportunities and best practices for its development and deployment.
To be eligible to participate in the first auction, projects must hold a valid Energy Storage Licence while a set of other eligibility criteria (including soundness of the technology used and minimum power injection capacity) must be met.
