Ten years have passed since the European Commission first asked Greece to modernize its renewable energy spatial plan. The Ministry of Environment and Energy has again extended the deadline for the new plan to the end of 2024. The commission published an informed opinion in 2023, stating the need for proper evaluation of Natura 2000 zones. The current plan is incompatible with European law, leading to a possible referral to the European Court of Justice. Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis and the ministry enforce a ban on wind turbine installation in certain mountaintops. Environmental groups express concerns over delays impacting renewable energy projects across the country. Greece was referred to the European Court for not realizing the Directive concerning Maritime Spatial Plans.
