Records by technology

Counts records, not generation share · coverage & dates

Reported capacity is the rated size of the listed installations, not electricity being produced now. Source dates and coverage differ, so newer facilities may be absent and historical records may remain.

How electricity works in Greece

Liberalised marketCompetitive generation and retail

Gas, solar and wind supply most power, with many islands now connected to the mainland by cable. HEnEx runs the market, coupled with the EU.

Who regulates

Who controls the grid

IPTO (ADMIE) runs transmission and HEDNO distribution, both majority state-controlled.

Regional grid

  • ENTSO-E · Continental European gridRegional grid

    Part of the synchronous grid of Continental Europe, the largest interconnected grid in the world by customers, coordinated by the European Network of Transmission System Operators for Electricity.

What does “Liberalised market” mean?

Generators sell into a wholesale market, an independent operator runs the transmission grid, and households can choose their electricity supplier. Networks stay regulated monopolies because building parallel power lines makes no sense.

Geography and data notes

Greece combines a mountainous mainland with islands across the Aegean and Ionian seas. The separation of islands and mainland is an important geographic distinction when exploring its generation sites.
