Greece is to stage its first joint wind and solar energy auction, for 600 MW, in April 2019 as part of its 2018-20 renewables plan. As part of the tender the country’s energy regulator RAE has relaxed its rule that tenders had to be 75% oversubscribed to be valid. The auction will take place at a site near Athens, where there are already two other auctions – one with Vestas, which won an order from Greece’s National Grid last year, and another by EDF Solar projects must be at least 20 MW, wind has to be at least 50 MW and clusters of wind and power also have to be more than 50 MW in total. Online applications have to be made by 21 March.
