Greece tightens rules on renewable energy installations
The legal framework in Greece has changed the net metering, the rules for renewable energy communities, the installation of wind turbines, the role of the Regulatory Authority for Energy
In particular, Greece has adopted an extensive law which cuts down the maximum capacity of solar power systems for households and business. which now can generate the maximum of 10 kw and 100 kW respectively. Concerning energy communities, two types will be created: renewable energy communities and citizen Energy Communities.
As a country with a rich natural heritage, the preservation of Greece's environment through sustainable energy practices is of paramount importance. Solar panels and off-grid solutions significantly reduce a property's carbon footprint. For context:
November 2023, Greece submitted its NECP with more ambitious and updated targets for renewables and solar: 23.5 GW for all forms of renewables, from which 13.4 GW came from solar power capacity. However, there is no roadmap or strategy at this time in regards to rooftop solar PV in particular.
Although, efforts are underway to increase grid capacity. Energy sharing is facilitated through energy communities and Greece is a frontrunner in establishing energy communities, with over 1,600 communities active since August 2023.
