The Hellenic Association of Photovoltaic Companies (HELAPCO) has published a report concerning Greece's net metering installations. The report is based on data published by the country's Electricity Distribution Network Operator (HEDNO), which is the Greek institution responsible for processing the net metering applications. According to HELAPCO's report, HEDNO has received 574 applications for net metering systems since May 2015, when application for net-metered PV systems to connect to the low voltage grid commenced. These applications correspond to 11.3 MW of PV capacity to be connected to Greece's mainland electricity network. Of the 11.3 MW of capacity, 17 systems (or about 3.16 MW of capacity) concern net metering systems to be connected directly to the medium voltage grid, for which the application process opened slightly later, in October 2015. Overall, HELAPCO says, the vast majority of net metering applications concern commercial and household rooftops. Furthermore, 59% of applications regard PV systems up to 10 KW each, and 26% of applications are for systems between 10 KW to 20 KW each. Applications for PV systems larger than 20 KW are submitted exclusively from businesses. Up to the beginning of August, 3.96 MW of capacity dispersed among 292 net metering systems were installed in Greece's mainland. Another 170 systems (or 2.48 MW of capacity) have signed a grid connection agreement with HEDNO. Greece's islandsApplications for net metering PV systems to be installed in Greece's non-interconnected islands networks began in April. Overall, 380 applications have been submitted, corresponding ...Den vollständigen Artikel lesen ...
