Greek grid operators Deddie and Ipto are taking urgent action to prevent grid overload and power outages this Easter in April, as sunny weather, high solar production, and low demand could strain the system, according to operators, cited by EnergyPress.
- Emergency measures including curtailing renewables and encouraging PV unit owners to install remote management systems are being implemented ahead of Easter.
- The upcoming 25 March Greek Independence Day holiday is also seen as a critical test period for the domestic grid.
- Experts foresee the need for greater curtailments of renewables to prevent grid overload, especially if sunny weather persists during Easter, according to EnergyPress.
