Greece’s Public Power Corp (PPC) has completed 2.13 GW of solar PV installations on former lignite mine sites, creating the largest PV cluster in Europe. Capable of generating 3,150 GWh annually, the cluster covers nearly 6% of the country’s electricity consumption. Key projects include the 550 MW Phoebe plant and the 940 MW Amyntaio complex, developed in partnership with Germany’s RWE. To support these utility-scale assets, PPC is also deploying large-scale energy storage systems to enhance grid stability. PPC Deputy CEO Konstantinos Mavros noted that this transformation of coal mines into a green energy hub secures Greece's energy independence amid a volatile global landscape.
