In response to complaints that excessive bureaucracy is slowing Greece’s green transition, particularly reagrding solar panel installations (PVs), Greece’s Ministry of Environment has simplified the procedures for the installation of PV systems.
Under the new rules, PV installations, with or without energy storage systems, will need less paperwork to be installed on industrial, commercial, and office buildings, as well as on future artifical structures.
The revised procedures forgo the need to obtain a producer’s certificate from the Regulatory Authority for Waste, Energy and Water (RAAEY), as well as an environmental permit.
Businesses will now be able to directly approach the relevent grid administrator to receive a final connection offer for linking to the grid within 3 months.
The above provisions have been proposed by Greece’s Ministry of Environment and are set to be discussed and voted on in Greek parliament.
