The Greek Regulatory Authority for Energy has confirmed that 411.8 MW of projects have been awarded in the country’s first standalone battery energy storage system (BESS) tender, which has attracted huge interest among developers. Investment and operating aid will be granted to 12 projects put forward by seven proponents.
The Regulatory Authority for Energy, Waste and Water (RAAEY) completed the selection process in the first energy storage auction in Greece. According to the terms of the auction, each participant could apply with a maximum of 100 MW. Three companies divided it into separate investments.
RAAEY – Greece's newly formed regulatory authority for waste, energy, and water – has revealed that the country will allocate 1 GW of new energy storage capacity. The program consists of three separate auctions, with capacities of 400 MW, 300 MW, and 300 MW.
Greece’s energy storage program will draw €341 million ($372.3 million) from the European Union’s post-pandemic recovery fund, which was approved last year by the European Commission. The program’s first and second tenders will focus on standalone energy storage projects connected to the Greek electricity transmission network.
Greece's subsidy support for winning energy storage projects in the upcoming tenders is generous. During the construction phase, all winning projects will receive a one-time payment of €200,000 per MW, which serves as a capital expenditure subsidy.
For the first energy storage auction, the regulator has set a capped CfD price of €115,000 per MW per year. As a result, winning projects must participate in the energy market, such as Greece's wholesale electricity trading and secondary balancing services market. Each year, the government will assess the projects' market earnings.
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.
