The Greek energy ministry plans to raise the auctioned capacity for merchant standalone batteries to 2.5GW, a 60% increase from the initial 1.5GW, due to rising energy storage demand and strong investor interest, sources said, cited by EnergyPress.
- Of the 2.5GW, around 1.7GW will connect to the Ipto power grid, while 800MW will be integrated into the Deddie distribution network.
- Areas with high renewable production and urgent system needs will be prioritised for capacity allocation.
- A ministerial order for this capacity boost is in its final stage after delays, sources said and according to Energypress.
