6 FAQs about [Analysis of greek energy storage sites]
Why is Greece focusing on energy storage?
Greece has been actively focusing on energy storage since the emergence of the RES “boom” in 2020. The country recognised the pivotal role of energy storage in the energy transition and emphasised its importance in the first iteration of the country’s National Energy and Climate Plan in 2019.
Does Greece have a new LNG storage unit?
A new floating storage unit at the liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal started operations in August 2022; thanks to the new unit, LNG cargoes have doubled year-on-year, while imports from Russia have dropped from 40% to less than 20% of Greece’s gas supply.
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 did Greece increase lignite stockpiling?
Greece increased lignite stockpiling to serve as a security reserve in case of disruptions in the gas supply. Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Greece has also notably increased efforts to deploy renewables and increase energy savings as key tools to reduce reliance on Russian energy.
What is Greece's recovery and resilience facility (Greece) plan?
The plan (Greece 2.0) is one of the largest funding requests to the Recovery and Resilience Facility (EUR 30.5 billion, equivalent to 16.7% of Greece’s 2019 gross domestic product [GDP]). The plan funds energy efficiency subsidies for residential buildings (EUR 1.1 billion), businesses (EUR 0.45 billion) and the public sector (EUR 0.2 billion).
Why do we need cross-border transmission lines in Greece?
Additionally, developments of cross-border transmission lines support the EU Market integration as well as contribute to the security of supply. Greece, with its potential for renewable energy generation, can export clean energy to neighboring nations, contributing to regional sustainability goals and facilitate investments.
