Wind Energy – Greece
Public Power Corp. (PPC) is continuing to expand its investment program in various renewable energy technologies.
The Greek utility said its green energy arm PPC Renewables would become the sole shareholder in a pilot offshore wind farm in Alexandroupolis.
PPC is taking over the Thrakiki Wind 1 project from Copelouzos Group and Samaras Group.
The fixed-bottom wind farm currently holds a 216 MW generation license and falls into the provisions of article 174 of L. 4964/2022 for the Pilot implementation of Offshore Wind Farms.
The Hellenic Hydrocarbons and Energy Resources Management Company (HEREMA) has already issued an exploration permit for the maritime zone, which extends south of the coastline of the Evros regional unit and north-northwest of the island of Samothrace (Samothraki). It is defined as an area for the development of pilot offshore wind farm projects with a total capacity of 600 MW.
