How wind power grew in Greece
A wind park has run on the island of Kythnos since 1982, as part of a hybrid system with solar and diesel. The state utility PPC built the country's early wind farms in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It has since replaced 130 of those old turbines with 30 new ones that give the same output. Greece had 107 MW of wind by 1999.
Law 2244/1994 let private producers build plants of up to 50 MW for the first time. They sold their output to PPC at 90% of its tariffs. Law 2773/1999 then began opening the electricity market from 2001. TERNA Energy is the largest wind producer, with 1,034 MW at the end of 2025, followed by MORE. Vestas supplied 44% of capacity and Enercon 24.9%.
Greece had 5,695 MW of wind at the end of 2025, all on land, after adding 340 MW that year. Wind generated 12.1 TWh in 2025, 20.9% of electricity. A new siting framework took effect in August 2026. It bans wind above 1,200 m and on islands smaller than 300 km², with narrow exceptions. The national plan targets 8,900 MW onshore and 1,900 MW offshore by 2030. The offshore programme was still awaiting approval in June 2026.
