The Greek government recently published its draft offshore wind energy development programme, which is overseen by the Hellenic Hydrocarbons and Energy Resources Management Company (HEREMA). The programme defines eligible organised development areas and estimates a capacity of approximately 4.9 GW of offshore wind projects that can be developed in the medium-term (up to 2030-2032), excluding the marine area between Evros-Samothraki which is designated for pilot offshore wind farm projects. 

As well as this, the programme estimates that a capacity of around 12.4 GW could be developed in the longer term (after 2030-2032).

DEME and Faria Renewables said that they will join forces to comprehensively assess Greece’s maritime area, identifying optimal sites for offshore wind farm development.
