Greece ready to launch offshore wind farm market
Greece’s Independent Power Transmission Operator (ADMIE) has secured the required electrical capacity of 2 gigawatts to facilitate the launch of the “nationally important new market of offshore wind parks in Greece,” noted ADMIE Chairman and CEO Manousos Manousakis on Thursday.
He was addressing a workshop titled “Offshore Wind in Greece – Prospects & Challenges for the Supply Chain & Sustainable Growth,” held by the Hellenic Wind Energy Association (HWEA).
Offshore wind parks are critical to achieving a central goal of Greece’s energy policy, he said, which is to transform the country from the fossil fuel importer it has been historically into a clean energy exporter.
