Energy communities have submitted license requests for two enormous floating solar farms off the island Evia, northeast of Athens, and Amfilohia, in the country’s northwest, offering a total prospective capacity of 18.6 GW.

These collective applications were among 206 license requests representing a total of 22.747 MW that were submitted to a June licensing cycle.

The Evia project, an 11.65-GW facility, is divided into two big clusters and a smaller one just off the island’s west side. The Amfilohia project, whose capacity is 7 GW, is planned to be installed just of the coastal town, on the eastern side of the Ambracian Gulf.

Highlighting the scale of these projects, the June cycle’s other RES license requests, numbering 203, represent a total capacity of just over 4 GW.
