Will Greece support a large-scale energy storage system?
The successful participants in the second round of Greece’s auction for financial support of large-scale BESS have been revealed. The first energy storage asset built using Wärtsilä’s new Quantum High Energy battery energy storage system (BESS) solution will be a 300MW/600MWh project in Scotland, UK.
Should Greece invest in energy storage facilities?
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 .
Why is Greece focusing on energy storage?
Greece has been actively focusing on energy storage since the emergence of the RES “boom” in 2020. The country recognised the pivotal role of energy storage in the energy transition and emphasised its importance in the first iteration of the country’s National Energy and Climate Plan in 2019.
How long should energy storage be in a Greek power system?
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.
How much will Greece spend on a 900MW energy storage pipeline?
The EU has approved a plan by the government in Greece to put €341 million (US$339.5 million) towards a 900MW energy storage pipeline, under its state aid rules. The European Commission, the EU’s executive arm, has approved the Greek state’s measure to fund the construction and operation of grid-connected energy storage systems totalling 900MW.
How many storage plants are there in Greece?
Currently there are four (4) storage plants operating in Greece, two open-loop pumped-hydro storage (PHS) stations in the mainland (700 ΜW in total) and two small hybrid RES-storage stations in non-interconnected islands (just 3 MW).
