She continued, “For the first time in the history of the Greek electricity system, the demand has been covered 100% by renewable energy sources. What transpired is an indication of the extent of Greece’s level of renewable energy.
” Renewable energy sources represent about 46% of the power mix in Greece during the 8 months before August of this year, to increase what was that percentage, which was limited to only 42% in the same period of the previous year 2021, according to the Environmental Thought Center explained And it has its headquarters in Greece, demonstrating the nation’s move away from fossil fuels and toward clean energy.

The European Commission has approved a Greek proposal to promote 4. 2 gigawatts of renewable energy from various renewable energy sources both inside and outside of Greece. The plan is valued at 2.27 billion euros, or $2.56 billion.
By 2030, Greece plans to create 25 GB of renewable energy, an increase of almost 10 GB from its current output.
