A new framework allows households and businesses to install standalone batteries, simplifies balcony solar installations and shortens the time grid operators have to respond to self-consumption connection requests

New plug-in solar systems designed for apartments could help households reduce electricity costs through self-consumption, with estimated savings of 20% to 30%, under Greece's new regulatory framework.

A €4.55 million solar power plant in central Greece will allow Trikala's municipal water utility to offset electricity costs through virtual net metering while supporting the region's clean energy transition.

A proposed regulation would allow households to install small balcony solar systems for self-consumption while simplifying renewable energy rules and expanding shared solar options for apartment buildings.

A draft renewable energy planning framework would ban new wind farms in the Athens and Thessaloniki metropolitan areas and on mountains above 1,200 meters, while imposing stricter rules on solar developments in protected and environmentally sensitive zones.

Greece's environment minister says a new renewable energy bill will let ordinary citizens generate their own electricity, cutting household costs while deepening what he calls "energy democracy."

According to the minister, Olympia Odos, a modern motorway that connects Athens with Patras and the Peloponnese region, now covers all its energy needs through renewable sources.

Greece will hold a meeting to prepare for potential blackouts over Easter, stemming from high renewable energy generation and low demand.

Under the new procedures, businesses no longer need to seek approval from Greece's electricity regulator or obtain an environmental permit as part of the application process for installing solar panels.

The Greek solar panel (photovoltaic) industry is on course to set a new record, according to the Hellenic Association of Photovoltaic Companies (HELAPCO)
