Greece has passed its first offshore wind energy law

Greece's parliament has approved an offshore wind energy development law, with the country aiming to install at least 2 GW of offshore wind energy by 2030.

 

According to the law, government ministries must first approve sea areas offered for concession. Bottom-fixed parks may be suitable near Northern Evia and off Alexandroupolis, whereas floating wind farms may be more suitable in the waters off the Cyclades islands, Dodecanese, Crete, and Karpathos.
