Most coal fired generation will be phased out by 2023 and EUR 5 billion has been committed to assist impacted communities. Auctions are driving strong deployment of solar PV and onshore wind. The government is implementing reforms to standardise and simplify licensing procedures for renewable projects and is investigating options for offshore wind. There are also projects for interconnections and renewables to decarbonise electricity on Greek islands.
