Energy-Storage.news proudly presents this sponsored webinar with consultancy Clean Horizon, discussing why Greece has an exciting combination of fundamental drivers and policy and regulatory support which can drive it to be an important European market for energy storage.

The Greek Minister of Environment and Energy recently announced a 700 MW tender for energy storage, to be issued in the autumn with a procurement of €200 million (US$235 million) in subsidies. In addition, through its Recovery and Resilience Plan, majority-funded by the EU, Greece plans on investing more than €450 million for the installation of 1,380 MW of energy storage (including pumped hydro storage) by 2030.
