Greece has launched its third and final tender for battery energy storage projects, offering subsidies of EUR 200,000 per MWh to support 200 MW of capacity.
This initiative forms part of Greece's 1-GW programme to advance standalone energy storage, overseen by the Regulatory Authority for Energy, Waste and Water (RAAEY).
The auction, officially announced in the Government Gazette, invites bidders to submit proposals by December 23, 2024. Projects must apply for grid connection by January 31, 2026.
A maximum allowance bid price of EUR 145,000 per MWh has been set for standalone battery systems with a required storage duration of four hours.
This round focuses on Western Macedonia—an area transitioning away from lignite dependency—and four municipalities in the Peloponnese region, which collectively have a quota of 50 MW.
Initially, the tender aimed to support 300 MW but follows the successful award of 411.8 MW and 299.8 MW of storage capacity in Greece's first and second rounds, respectively.
