The companies plan to invest approximately €500 million in the solar projects, with construction expected to begin in 2026. This substantial investment underscores the commitment to scaling up renewable energy infrastructure in the region.
RWE and PPC Renewables have already completed a 210 MW solar portfolio in the Western Macedonia region, which has been operating since the previous year. This successful completion marks a significant milestone in their journey towards sustainable energy solutions.
These new projects in Central Macedonia will further boost the joint venture’s solar capacity, contributing significantly to Greece’s renewable energy goals and the companies’ commitment to sustainable energy solutions. By leveraging such partnerships and investments, Greece continues to make strides in its renewable energy sector, aligning with broader European energy standards and environmental targets.
