The first large-scale solar plants to be installed in Greece since 2015 have been completed. The three PV plants, built by Greek oil firm Hellenic Petroleum, have a combined capacity of 8.6 MW. The company was not heavily involved in renewables prior to the projects, having installed a total of just 1.4 MW of solar PV. In 2015, Greece’s government approved plans for an additional 100 GW of renewable energy capacity, with another 50 GW planned over the next decade.
