solar with battery project financing options in Greece 2026

Why is Greece launching a battery storage auction?

Initially a response to the COVID 19 pandemic, the focus has pivoted to support Greece’s green energy transition. The storage auctions themselves require further approval under EU State aid rules. The pipeline of prospective battery storage projects now approaches 27GW, with over 500 projects granted a storage license.

Does Greece have a battery storage pipeline?

Greece has emerged as one of the countries with the largest pipeline of battery storage projects, but as yet there has been little activity on the ground. This is changing as the long-awaited storage subsidy auctions have started, with the first projects being awarded support for both investment and operating costs.

Why is Greece launching a storage auction in ?

Funding was first announced in as part of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan. Initially a response to the COVID 19 pandemic, the focus has pivoted to support Greece’s green energy transition. The storage auctions themselves require further approval under EU State aid rules.

How much battery storage will Europe have by ?

However, based on current policies, the country looks set to hit only 4.8GW of operational battery storage capacity by , as shown in the above infographic from LCP Delta’s STOREtrack market intelligence platform covering energy storage across Europe.

How much does the government subsidize rooftop photovoltaics?

In addition to subsidizing rooftop photovoltaics, the government has also enacted a EUR 100 million program for 120,000 solar thermal rooftop systems, with a subsidy level of 60% and a maximum support level of EUR 900 per household.

How does solar power subsidy work?

The subsidy reaches 100% for the battery in the case of poorer households and 90% for the rest. Households are required to install a battery along with the solar power system, while farmers have the option to only install PV systems on their roofs. The maximum installed capacity for the PV system is 10.8 kW compared to 10.8 kWh for the battery.
