Cero cleared to add storage at 370-MW solar park in Greece

Cero Generation has received regulatory approval to add a battery energy storage system (BESS) at the site of a 370-MW solar park project in central Greece’s Sterea region.

The amendment to the producer certificate issued to Cero Development Hellas was issued by the Regulatory Authority for Energy, Waste and Water (RAEWW) on Monday. Details about the proposed energy storage component were not available in the filing.

According to news portal NewMoney.gr, the proposed BESS will have an installed capacity of 748,544 MWh and guaranteed capacity of 711,116 MWh. The plan for its integration into the photovoltaic (PV) project was filed for review with RAEWW in March.

The future Dristello solar power plant will be built in the municipalities of Domokos and Stylida in the regional unit of Fthiotida.

Cero, an independent portfolio company of Macquarie Asset Management’s Green Investment Group (GIG), has a roughly 5-GW renewable energy portfolio in Greece, according to its website.
