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 energy storage auction program. The projects range in size from 8,875 MW/17,75 MWh to 49,9 MW/100 MWh).
Considering the energy arbitrage and flexibility needs of the Greek power system, a mix of short (~2 MWh/MW) and longer (>6 MWh/MW) duration storages has been identified as optimal. In the short run, storage is primarily needed for balancing services and to a smaller degree for limited energy arbitrage.
According to previous statements by the Ministry for Environment and Energy, an auction for 900 MW to 1,000 MW of battery energy storage will take place this year for the first time. Given the fact that Greek elections are expected to last for a couple of months, the auction will probably take place in the second half of 2023.
Currently there is a growing interest for investments in storage facilities in Greece. Licensed projects mostly consist of Li-ion battery energy storage systems (BESS), either stand-alone or integrated in PVs, as well as PHS facilities .
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.
