PPC Group has announced that it has completed the construction of a 2.13 GW cluster of solar PV projects in the cities of Amyntaio and Ptolemaida in Western Macedonia, Greece. The projects have been developed in former lignite mine areas, and have the capacity to generate almost 3.2 TWh/year, which represents approximately 6% of Greece’s annual electricity consumption. Once operational, they are expected to prevent the emission of more than 1.5 MtCO2/year. The projects include the 550 MW Phoebe (880 GWh of annual production), 200 MW Helios Velos 1 (320 GWh/year), Exochi 7 and Akrini each with 80 MW of capacity and an estimated annual production of 122 GWh.
Aditionally, PPC Renewables, a wholly owned subsidiary of PPC Group, has completed the construction of two electrochemical energy storage stations in the Greek cities of Ptolemaida and Meliti, with a combined capacity of 98 MW/196 MWh. The company is also developing a third BESS station in Amyntaio (50 MW/200 MWh), which is expected soon in 2026. The subsidiary has also been authorised to develop two pumped storage projects in Kardia (320 MW/2560 MWh) and South Field (240 MW /2880 MWh).
