Greece’s PPC Group has finished construction of its 2.13 GW solar portfolio in northern Greece. The company is now working on its third large-scale battery storage facility in the area, with plans for two pumped-hydro storage projects also progressing.
Greek electric utility Public Power Corp (PPC) Group has completed the construction of a series of solar projects with a cumulative capacity of 2,130 MW.
The solar sites are located on former lignite mine around the area of Amyntaio and Ptolemaida in northern Greece. According to a statement from PPC, they are capable of generating a combined 3.15 TWh annually, equivalent to nearly 6% of the country’s annual electricity consumption.

The cluster also includes the 200 MW Helios Velos 1 solar plant, 80 MW Exochi 7 project and 80 MW Akrini plant, alongside ten additional smaller sites all situated on former lignite areas.
PPC says it is now working to develop and integrate more large-scale storage systems in the same regions as the solar sites. The company has already completed the construction of two battery energy storage systems (BESS) with a combined installed capacity of 98 MW/196 MWh.
