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 .
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.
Breakthroughs are expected to occur in the current decade in the field of power supply in Greece, as the RES share in power generation is expected to increase significantly and gradually replace the use of fossil fuels.
1 During 2020-2021, Greece has experienced a new explosion of licensing interest for RES stations. The application to the Regulator in mid-2021 exceeded 9000 MW, with most of them having already acquired Electricity Producer Attestation (EPA), far beyond the needs of our national system.
