The capacity of planned offshore wind farms in Greece will be 2.35 GW, according to a new decree by the Ministry of Environment and Energy, compared to 1.9 GW to 2 GW from the National Climate and Energy Plan (NECP).
The ministry also determined the capacity per marine zone. Unchanged, 600 MW would be installed offshore Thrace, within pilot projects. The Crete zone is set to host 250 MW and the Dodecanese islands another 500 MW. Around the Cyclades and inside the Gulf of Euboea (Evia), a total of 500 MW is envisaged, compared to 200 MW in the Gulf of Patras.
In addition, the ministerial decree set the points where the offshore wind farms would be connected to the power transmission network.
