These are 77 wind turbines that increased wind power by 5.4% compared to the end of 2022, bringing the total wind power connected to the grid close to 5 gigawatts (specifically, 4,935.4 MW).
As ELETAEN points out, in the first half of 2023 more new wind turbines were connected to the grid than in all of 2022. The acceleration of development is due to the gradual completion of large wind investments thanks to the efforts of businesses, the scientific world and professionals of wind energy operating in Greece.
Additionally, at the end of H1 2023, over 600 MW of new wind farms were under construction or contracted, the vast majority of which are expected to be connected to the grid within the next 12 months. Another 450 MW are in the certification phase or their construction is about to start. To these must be added another 400MW that have been selected in tenders, have submitted good performance guarantees but do not belong to any of the above categories. As a result the total wind capacity will approach 6.5 GW within the next three years.
At the level of Regions, Central Greece remains at the top of wind installations since it hosts 2,110 MW (43%), followed by Peloponnese with 639 MW (13%) and Eastern Macedonia - Thrace where there are 534 MW (11%).
As far as business groups are concerned, the Top-5 are:
TERNA Energy with 930 MW (18.9%)
MORE with 706 MW (14.3%)
Iberdrola Rokas with 409 MW (8.3%)
ENEL Green Power with 368 MW (7.5%) and
EREN with 250 MW (5.1%)
They are followed by EDF, the Mytilene group, PPC Renewables, Jasper Energy, Cubico, HELENiQ Energy and others.
