Renewable energy in Greece accounted for 29 percent of its electricity from renewable sources in 2021. By 2030, renewables are expected to have a capacity of 28GW, and exceed 61 percent of Greece''s electricity consumption. This is a significant increase from 8% of the country''s total energy consumption in 2008. By 2022, Greece occasionally reached 100% renewables for a few hours. The target for 2050 is a capacity of 65GW.
Amazon invests in three Greek wind farms to power its operations and support Greece''s renewable energy goals. The projects, developed by Aer Soléir, will generate clean energy equivalent to powering nearly 200,000 homes and create hundreds of jobs.
