(An article drafted by Panagiota Maragkozoglou, Associate and Mira Todorovic Symeonides, Partner for Lexology on January 10, 2025)
This article highlights key developments in Greece’s legislative framework for floating photovoltaic stations (FPVs) following the adoption of Law 5151/2024. Building on Law 4951/2022, which facilitated pilot offshore FPV installations and simplified licensing for projects up to 1 MW, the new law introduced significant reforms.
The updated framework expands installation opportunities to lake reservoirs and artificial lakes outside the NATURA 2000 network. It allows for larger projects, with a maximum capacity of 8 MW per station and an overall capacity of 80 MW, while implementing fast-track licensing procedures. Interested parties must submit applications by May 2025, adhering to strict timelines for environmental approvals and grid connection agreements.
Additionally, the law offers a second chance for projects that missed deadlines, resetting compliance schedules and reinforcing Greece’s commitment to advancing renewable energy infrastructure.
