Photovoltaic Parks
With over 250 days of sunshine annually, Greece is one of the most suitable countries for harnessing solar energy. As a result:
- Large-scale photovoltaic parks are being developed, some of which rank among the largest in Europe. An example is the 204 MW park in Western Macedonia.
- At the same time, residential use of photovoltaic systems is being promoted through subsidies for rooftop installations and small-scale systems.
Offshore Wind Turbines
- Greece has abundant offshore wind resources, especially in the Aegean and Ionian Seas, making it ideal for offshore wind farms.
- Offshore wind farms are a more recent trend, offering higher efficiency due to stronger and more consistent winds at sea.
- Projects are already being planned in collaboration with major energy companies and are expected to be operational in the coming years.
Benefits of These Investments
Investments in these technologies:
- Create new jobs, supporting local communities.
- Boost local economies, particularly in regions hosting these developments.
- Contribute significantly to national economic growth, while positioning Greece as a leader in renewable energy in the Mediterranean.
