GREECE IS WELL BEHIND IN GREEN ENERGY DRIVE

Excerpt :

Greece connected wind farms with a combined 230 MW to the network last year. Total installed capacity rose by just 5.2% to 4.68 GW.

The volume of new installations was weak due to a decrease in the suitable area for the construction of wind farms, as well as the ongoing bottlenecks in the licensing process.

It should be noted that the government recently took steps to exclude certain mountains from the installation of wind turbines, in an effort to appease public reactions and protect the natural beauty in these areas.
