Greece and its solar power system: an overview
The development of solar power in Greece started in 2006 but peaked only in 2009 and, as of December 2013, the total installed photovoltaic
November 2023, Greece submitted its NECP with more ambitious and updated targets for renewables and solar: 23.5 GW for all forms of renewables, from which 13.4 GW came from solar power capacity. However, there is no roadmap or strategy at this time in regards to rooftop solar PV in particular.
Currently, probably the main reason that impedes solar development and that makes administrative procedures long and burdensome in Greece, including rooftop solar, is grid availability. In many areas, applications for solar rooftop PV are being rejected due to lack of electricity grid capacity.
Energy sharing is facilitated through energy communities and Greece is a frontrunner in establishing energy communities, with over 1,600 communities active since August 2023. Recent legislation introduced new types of energy communities, prioritising self-consumption projects and limiting profit distribution to prevent exploitation.
Although, efforts are underway to increase grid capacity. Energy sharing is facilitated through energy communities and Greece is a frontrunner in establishing energy communities, with over 1,600 communities active since August 2023.
Greece is a frontrunner in establishing a new type of civil cooperative, the “energy community” (Law 4513/2018), including most of the criteria in the EU directives (effective control, open and voluntary participation, local proximity, etc.).
Low smart meter penetration: Due to legal proceedings on a specific case with a Distribution System Operator (HEDNO), the installation of smart meters in Greece stalled and is only at a penetration rate of 6%. Although, this will be resolved with financial support from the European Investment Bank.
