Greece’s third tender for battery energy storage systems (BESS), targeting 200 MW of capacity, has been cancelled due to inaccuracies in the application rules.
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 [1].
With its market-oriented operation, the standalone energy storage station enables participation in power spot market transactions and provides auxiliary services such as peak shaving and frequency regulation. The black start function during

An upcoming 3 rd energy-storage auction for standalone batteries will offer investors a reduced capacity of 200 MW, down from 300 MW originally planned by the energy ministry, sources have told energypress.
Greece’s new battery storage program has taken into account the areas most congested by the output of renewable power stations as well as the kind of renewable projects connected to the grid.
The much-awaited ministerial decree for zero-subsidy standalone battery systems has been published in Greece. So far, Greece has provided support to 900 MW of standalone storage projects under three previous auctions.
A decision published by Greece’s Ministry of the Environment and Energy in the State Gazette last Friday was a surprise for the domestic energy storage sector. The ministry ran a public consultation in late February, proposing a new 3.5 GW energy storage program.
According to the Greek National Energy and Climate Plan (NECP), the nation aims to install 4.3 GW of storage by 2030. Thus far, 900 MW has been allocated via the Greek Regulatory Authority for Energy, Waste, and Water (RAAEY) tenders. Therefore, the remaining share would be delivered under the new plan but without any subsidy support.
Overall, following last months public consultation, the Greek ministry of the environment and energy presented a bolder and even more ambitious battery storage program, allowing for longer completion times but retaining the financial and competition guarantees in place.
The quota for the latter is 50 MW. The program is part of the just transition efforts within Greece’s coal phaseout, currently scheduled to be completed in 2026. Grants for the capital expenditure or capex for the battery energy storage systems (BESS) are set at EUR 200,000 per MW.
