Greenfield power plants in Greece
Crete is the largest Greek island covering an area of 8,261,183 km². The island lies approximately 160 km south of the Greek mainland. Heraklion is the island’s administrative and economic centre with about 140,000 inhabitants. Crete enjoys a temperate Mediterranean climate with about 300 days of sunshine per year; together with Cyprus, it is the sunniest island in the Mediterranean. Crete has numerous advantages in comparison with other countries:
- Very high solar irradiation
- Good electricity grid infrastructure, support by grid operator regulated by law
- Rapid processing by licensing authorities and energy supply companies
- Regulated feed-in tariffs, fixed for 20 years

Solar power plants on Crete – a worthwhile investment
SolConTec International AG is building turnkey solar power plants in Greece, preferably on the island of Crete. To this end, SolConTec is looking for technically feasible sites with high solar yields and long-term availability that also offer convincing returns on investment. The solar irradiation levels on the island of Crete are amongst the highest in Europe and thus offer a high yield and, thanks to the climatic conditions, also high planning certainty for investors. These basic conditions, together with a lucrative feed-in tariff on the Greek islands, make the Greek market extremely attractive for investors. SolConTec International AG is one of the first German companies to complete two solar power plants on the Greek island of Crete in September and October 2010. The two 80 kW greenfield power plants on Crete are the first two power plants in a SolConTec International AG pipeline planned in Greece. During the planning phase, project management attached the utmost importance to selected components and the best possible project optimization for use on Crete.
The substructure provided by the Norwegian partner company SolkraftMounting Systems was specially adapted to meet the requirements and environmental conditions on the Greek islands and, together with the German Krinner foundation screws, offers a solid and permanent basis for the Greek power plants of SolConTec International AG. The other components, such as Phono Solar PV modules and Danfoss inverters, were also carefully selected for this particular project and offer high quality and performance. A proven MeteoControl system monitors the power plant’s performance and function and the investor is also able to view this online. For the follow-up projects, SolConTec project managers determine and implement the optimum technical procedure for each location in order to maximize yield.
Your business foundation as electricity producer in Greece
In Greece as in Germany, all business parameters relating to renewable energy are regulated by law. As in other EU countries, the Greek Renewable Energies Sources Act has been brought in line with the German act. This guarantees that not only national but also European law is applied. Although Greece is currently subject to strict European constraints, renewable energies are expressly exempt from these. As a result, your economic and/or legal position as a producer of electrical energy in Greece does not differ greatly from that in Germany.
