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.
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 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.
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.
The largest component of utility-scale battery storage costs lies in the battery cells themselves, typically accounting for 30-40% of total system costs. In the European market, lithium-ion batteries currently range from €200 to €300 per kilowatt-hour (kWh), with prices continuing to decrease as manufacturing scales up and technology improves.
This second auction comes after the initial round of auctions in August 2023, when 12 projects totaling 411 MW were awarded at an average annual cost of €49.748 per MW. Another round is planned for April 2025, with the goal of allocating an additional 300 MW. These tenders are part of the country’s 1 GW energy storage auction program.
