Greece

Greece offshore wind overview.

Greece has no operational offshore wind yet, but a national framework is now in place and initial development zones have been identified. Many promising areas are in deeper Aegean and Mediterranean waters, making floating wind important from the outset. The first auction rounds will determine how quickly the 2030 target can become a bankable pipeline.Europe10.7m people

Market Readiness

Market stage

Early-stage market where offshore wind activity is starting to form and the route to delivery is still emerging.

Consenting window

Typical offshore wind consenting timescale: 36-72 months.

Electricity system

Liberalised market. ADMIE/IPTO is TSO and responsible for offshore grid infrastructure under Law 4964/2022. RAWEW (Regulatory Authority for Waste, Energy and Water) regulates and licences. HEREMA (Hellenic Hydrocarbons and Energy Resources Management Company) manages leasing and concession process. LAGIE is market operator. Law 4964/2022 (July 2022) established first offshore wind framework.

Grid context

ADMIE (IPTO) is the Greek TSO and manages offshore grid connection. Greece's offshore wind regulatory framework is still being finalised and a dedicated offshore connection regime has not yet been established. Connection from Aegean Sea projects to the mainland is technically complex given island geography, and dedicated offshore grid infrastructure including subsea HVDC cables is likely to be required for larger projects.
