It is said to be the country’s first solar project to utilise a private power purchase agreement (PPA) and not benefit from any kind of government subsidies on electricity costs.
Cero Generation CEO Marta Martinez Queimadelos said: “We are delighted to be partnering with Ameresco and Sunel Group on this landmark project.
“Against the backdrop of an ongoing energy crisis, we’re helping to deliver cheaper, cleaner power across the country and supporting the government’s ambitious transition goals.
“This project is an important step in the expansion of Cero’s Greek portfolio and one of many market-leading projects in our pipeline.”
