Three energy storage stations (ESS) developed by MORE, with a total capacity of 72 MW and 144 MWh, are entering the final stage of connection to the electricity grid, marking some of the first projects of their kind to be commissioned in Greece.
Following the approval of energization requests by IPTO, the “Ternitsa” station in Phocis (30 MW / 60 MWh), “Vevi” in Florina (22 MW / 44 MWh), and “Sanida” in Boeotia (20 MW / 40 MWh) are moving into their final activation phase. Specifically, the energization and connection to the electricity transmission grid are scheduled to take place between Wednesday, April 15 and Friday, April 17.
Construction of the stations was completed within an exceptionally short timeframe of approximately five months, achieving a high implementation pace and ensuring full operational readiness as early as autumn 2025. Their energization was made possible following the completion of the relevant regulatory framework.
The commissioning of the first large-scale energy storage projects enhances the utilization of energy from renewable sources and reduces production curtailments. It also contributes to system stability and creates the conditions for lowering electricity costs for both consumers and businesses. At the same time, it represents another step toward strengthening Greece’s energy independence and advancing the transition to a more flexible and efficient energy system.
MORE is a subsidiary of Motor Oil and is among the leading renewable energy companies in Greece. It develops, constructs, and operates renewable energy and energy storage projects, actively contributing to the transformation of the country’s energy sector.
The projects were selected under the second competitive tender process conducted by RAAEY for energy storage systems and are being implemented through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan “Greece 2.0,” funded by the European Union – NextGenerationEU.
