EDP Renewables adds 70 MW in Greece

Green Forum
EDP Renewables has inaugurated two new wind farms in Central Greece and Thessaly, adding nearly 70 MW to Greece's wind power capacity, which saw a modest expansion of 125 MW last year.

The company, along with its parent firm EDP, held an official opening for the projects, which secured government support in 2019 through renewable energy auctions. Both wind farms operate under 20-year contracts for difference (CfD). Initially, commercial operations were planned to begin in 2022.

The two facilities, now connected to the transmission grid, have a combined capacity of nearly 70 MW and are expected to generate 143 GWh annually. This output is sufficient to power over 37,000 Greek households while reducing carbon dioxide emissions by more than 102,000 tons per year.

The inauguration took place at the Xironomi site in Boeotia, Central Greece, where the wind farm has a capacity of 36 MW, with a CfD secured for 33 MW. The second facility, Chalcodonio, is located in the Magnesia regional unit of Thessaly, featuring a 33.6 MW wind farm with a 30 MW CfD.
