The energy ministry plans to launch a photovotaics support program for businesses by the end of September, promising enterprises energy-cost savings through self-produced energy.

Subsidy support for PV installations in the business sector will be reserved for systems incorporating zero feed-in batteries, which do not enable injections of renewable energy output into the grid.

This effectively means business-sector PVs will be able to be installed anywhere around the country, regardless of grid capacity availability.

The list of successful applicants, to vie for support funds totaling 160 million euros, should be finalized towards the end of November, or, in a worst-case scenario, no later than December, energypress sources informed.

The support program, to be funded by the Resilience and Recovery Fund, will be administered by TAIPED, the Greek privatization fund.
