Home » News » Renewables » Greece awards 188.9 MW for subsidized battery storage in final auction Greece's third energy storage auction has been completed, with nine projects selected and a capacity of 188.9 MW.
Recent industry analysis reveals that lithium-ion battery storage systems now average €300-400 per kilowatt-hour installed, with projections indicating a further 40% cost reduction by 2030. For utility operators and project developers, these economics reshape the fundamental calculations of grid stabilization and peak demand management.
Greece has emerged as one of the countries with the largest pipeline of battery storage projects, but as yet there has been little activity on the ground. This is changing as the long-awaited storage subsidy auctions have started, with the first projects being awarded support for both investment and operating costs.
The landscape of utility-scale battery storage costs in Europe continues to evolve rapidly, driven by technological advancements and increasing demand for renewable energy integration. As we’ve explored, the current costs range from €250 to €400 per kWh, with a clear downward trajectory expected in the coming years.
It was the final auction where the state provides subsidies to build battery energy storage systems (BESS). A total of almost 800 MW in capability has been awarded through all three storage auctions. In the latest bidding, nine projects with a four-hour storage duration have been selected for a total capacity of 188.9 MW.
The government in Greece is looking to provide financial support for up to 900MW of energy storage capacity through a tender as previously reported by Energy-Storage.news. The country has an overall energy storage deployment goal of 3GW by 2030 to facilitate a 70% renewable energy target.
