Information launched by the Hellenic Affiliation of Photovoltaic Firms reveals that the Greek photo voltaic market will set up 3 times extra capability in 2022 in comparison with 2021.
In response to preliminary figures out there at pv journal via the Hellenic Affiliation of Photovoltaic Firms (Helapco), Greece is connecting 1. 36 GW of latest PV capability to the grid by 2022. Of this, 341.5 MW is related to the transmission grid in Greece and about 1020 MW is related to the distribution grids in Greece.
These figures are preliminary as a result of Greece has not but formally introduced the variety of new PV deployments for 2022. The operator of renewable power sources within the nation, Dapeep, has solely revealed knowledge protecting the interval till the tip in September 2022. Dapeep knowledge reveals that Greece put in 932 MW of latest photovoltaic capability within the first three quarters of final yr, however doesn’t embody installations beneath internet metering, which the nation introduced individually in distribution grid operator Hedno.
Helapco’s extra full statistical overview of the PV market reveals that net-metered methods solely make up a small a part of the 1.36 GW of newly put in photo voltaic.
Actually, in keeping with Helapco, the mainland grid of Greece has related 109.4 MW of net-metered PV, whereas small unbiased operations in Greece working stand-alone networks have added an extra 1.4 MW of net-metered capability. metered PV. Curiously, 5.4 MW of net-metering capability put in in 2022 within the mainland grid consists of a digital internet metering system.
Attributable to the truth that business net-metered system installations are greater than double that of residential methods, the Greek authorities needs to enhance the residential phase by introducing a brand new beneficiant rebate scheme aimed particularly at residential solar-plus-storage. The federal government mentioned the brand new scheme will likely be revealed quickly, probably earlier than the tip of March, 2023.
Mounted tariffs proceed to drive development
The newly put in PV capability for 2022 is a minimum of 3 times greater than the 422 MW of latest photovoltaics added in 2021. This consists of methods which are awarded a premium tariff via aggressive tenders. tender, small photo voltaic farms as much as 500 kW entitled to feed-in tariffs, and internet metered methods.
Helapco mentioned that of the brand new methods related to the grid, 200 or about 20 MW are related to low voltage, 1,602 methods or about 890 MW are related to medium voltage. and about 341.5 MW is concerned in excessive voltage.
