Apr 4, 2025 · Additionally, there was mention of the large-scale battery energy storage project, Ptolemaida BESS, budgeted at 300 million euros. Construction is expected to start by year
Already, in the region of Western Macedonia, business expansions are being made for the production of Li-ion battery technology. In summary, the two projects will consist of the following equipment and subsystems: They are projects of European interest, which has significant benefits to the licensing and financing process.
EEG’s new project comprises two large-scale energy storage stations, one in the wider area of Ptolemaida (Western Macedonia) and one in the area of Megalopoli (Arcadia, Peloponnese), with the designations “Ptolemaida Battery Energy Storage System” (PTOLEMAIDA BESS) and “Arcadia Battery Energy Storage System” (ARCADIA BESS), respectively.
The energy projects, of over 600 million euros investment, are characterized by Greek added value and know-how, European significance and global technological value.
According to the plans laid out by the EEG Group, the construction of the two large-scale energy storage stations will start in 2021 and will be fully operational by 2022, provided that the remaining procedures (terms of environmental permits, connection conditions and construction permits) are completed in time without the usual stumbling blocks.
The global industrial and commercial energy storage market is experiencing explosive growth, with demand increasing by over 250% in the past two years. Containerized energy storage solutions now account for approximately 45% of all new commercial and industrial storage deployments worldwide. North America leads with 42% market share, driven by corporate sustainability initiatives and tax incentives that reduce total project costs by 18-28%. Europe follows closely with 35% market share, where standardized industrial storage designs have cut installation timelines by 65% compared to traditional built-in-place systems. Asia-Pacific represents the fastest-growing region at 50% CAGR, with manufacturing scale reducing system prices by 20% annually. Emerging markets in Africa and Latin America are adopting industrial storage solutions for peak shaving and backup power, with typical payback periods of 2-4 years. Major commercial projects now deploy clusters of 15+ systems creating storage networks with 80+MWh capacity at costs below $270/kWh for large-scale industrial applications.
Technological advancements are dramatically improving industrial energy storage performance while reducing costs. Next-generation battery management systems maintain optimal operating conditions with 45% less energy consumption, extending battery lifespan to 20+ years. Standardized plug-and-play designs have reduced installation costs from $85/kWh to $40/kWh since 2023. Smart integration features now allow multiple industrial systems to operate as coordinated energy networks, increasing cost savings by 30% through peak shaving and demand charge management. Safety innovations including multi-stage fire suppression and thermal runaway prevention systems have reduced insurance premiums by 35% for industrial storage projects. New modular designs enable capacity expansion through simple system additions at just $200/kWh for incremental capacity. These innovations have improved ROI significantly, with commercial and industrial projects typically achieving payback in 3-5 years depending on local electricity rates and incentive programs. Recent pricing trends show standard industrial systems (1-2MWh) starting at $330,000 and large-scale systems (3-6MWh) from $600,000, with volume discounts available for enterprise orders.
