A Greek law introduced at the end of 2025 sets a target of 130 MW of agrivoltaics across the country’s 13 regional prefectures. Each prefecture may install up to 10 MW, while individual agrivoltaic systems are capped at 200 kW.

The policy is designed to support farmers, who are the only eligible owners of the new agrivoltaic plants. Each farmer may own up to two systems.

Agrivoltaic projects may be paired with battery storage providing at least one hour of duration, enabling batteries to deliver the PV system’s maximum output for at least one hour. Batteries may not charge from the grid.

The distribution network operator said it will accept applications during the first 10 days of each month until the 10 MW cap in each prefecture is reached.

Applications will be accepted nationwide, including on non-interconnected islands not linked to the mainland grid, and will be assessed on a first-come, first-served basis. All submissions must comply with the operator’s guidelines, including the provision of bank guarantee letters or equivalent financial security.

Agrivoltaic systems must be installed at least 2.1 meters above ground level and located on cultivated farmland or on greenhouse rooftops.

Under the remuneration scheme, approved plants will sign contracts with Greece’s Operator of Renewable Energy Sources (DAPEEP). Systems on non-interconnected island grids will instead contract with the distribution grid operator. In both cases, contracts will provide a fixed tariff for generated electricity.

The government has not yet announced the tariff level, but the Ministry of Environment and Energy is expected to do so in the coming weeks. Farmers are widely expected to move quickly to secure capacity under the program.
