Deputy Minister for Environment & Energy Alexandra Sdoukou outlined the Greek government’s priorities in its energy policy over the next four years, speaking at the 27th National Energy Conference of the Institute of Energy for South-East Europe (IENE) on Tuesday.
The minister listed these priorities as follows:
– Zero lignite production after 2028
– 80% of electricity production to come from RES in 2030
– Development of durable energy storage systems with batteries & pumped storage
– Connecting islands to the continental power grid by 2030
– Development & operation of off-shore wind farms in 2030
– Security of supply & operation of competitive electricity markets that will benefit consumers & national economy
– Deeper use of electricity in final energy consumption with an emphasis on buildings & transport
– Promotion of self-production systems from RES & the digitization of the network
– New international electrical interconnections that will allow Greece to increase exports to European markets & absorb the energy surplus thus balancing out the national system
The minister noted that Greece estimates its energy output total will reach 64.6TWh by the end of this decade.
