Last year, Greece generated 57% of its electricity demand via renewable energies. This year the country is expected to score an even higher percentage of renewable electricity, accompanied by the issue of curtailing surplus green electricity. Greece has turned its attention to energy storage, running a 1 GW program for standalone, front-of-the-meter batteries. The minister of the environment and energy, Theodoros Skylakakis, mentioned at an energy conference in Athens that Greece has exceptional renewable energy resources and should speed up energy storage development. The ministry is working towards a plan to open the battery storage market in two ways: colocation of behind-the-meter batteries with existing photovoltaic plants and new standalone front-of-the-meter batteries without subsidies.
