In 2024, Greece recorded 900 GWh of renewable energy curtailment, a growing issue in the country’s energy transition, according to Stelios Psomas, an energy and sustainability expert, in an interview with Energía Estratégica España. Solutions such as storage and grid strengthening are key to achieving the targets of the NECP (National Energy and Climate Plan).
Panagiotis Papastamatiou, CEO of the Hellenic Wind Energy Association, stated that 2024 was not a favorable year for the sector. However, there are positive expectations for the coming year, with 1 GW under construction and a target of reaching 6.5 GW of installed capacity within a year and a half. He also pointed out that the main issue lies in delays in the licensing process and an “over-licensing of photovoltaics.”
With three projects awarded in the first auction and strong interest in the second, Spain consolidates its role in renewable hydrogen, driven by exceptional resources and a key strategic position for the European energy transition.
