The government’s target is to exceed the EU renewable energy goal of 2030 of 27%. Installations increased to 109 MW in 2012. Between 2005 and 2014 the percentage of energy from renewable energy sources grew from just 3.1% to 8.6% of total final consumption. In Greece, the integration of renewable sources of energy, especially solar and wind, had started in the 1990s when the country first introduced a feed-in tariff. In August 2016, a new renewable energy law was approved that aims to further stimulate renewable energy investments by introducing feed-in premiums, competitive tenders, and virtual net metering.The solar energy development in Greece started in 2006 and increased substantially from 2009 because of the high feed-in tariffs introduced and the corresponding regulations for domestic applications of PVs on rooftops.From August 2012 new regulations have been introduced including a temporary tax imposed to all operating PV plants (excluding residential applications), licensing of new PV projects have been put on halt and the feed-in tariffs were drastically reduced.As of December 2013, the total installed photovoltaic capacity in Greece reached 2,419.2 MWp Solar power represented a very small part of electricity production in the United Kingdom (UK) until the 2010s when it increased rapidly, thanks to feed-in tariff (FIT) subsidies and the falling cost of photovoltaic (PV) panels.Solar power is a growing source in the Portuguese energy mix. As a data center colocation provider in Greece, Lamda Hellix is fully committed to sustainability and energy efficiency by integrating environment-friendly policies aiming to reduce its carbon footprint. This research refers to the use of RES, in the island of Mykonos. Data and methods. Greece nearly doubled its share from renewable energy sources, from 6.9% of gross final energy consumption in 2004, to 15.5% in 2017.

Nowadays, the increase of carbon dioxide emissions contributes to the surface temperature's increase and it is the prime cause for the climatic changes. In 2014, no new installations were reported.Under its commitment to the EU renewable energy directive of 2009, France has a target of producing 23% of its total energy needs from renewable energy by 2020. During the 2010-2015 period, in which the country's economy shrunk by 25%, RES more than tripled their installed capacity from 1423 to 5031 MW. The country is also the second largest coal consumer in Europe, behind Germany.The Czech Republic had almost two gigawatts (GW) of photovoltaic capacity at the end of 2010, but installed less than 10 megawatts (MW) in 2011 due to the feed-in tariff being reduced by 25%, after installing almost 1,500 MW the year before. The conclusions showed that the correct management of renewable energy sources from regulations of local authorities like the Municipality of Mykonos, as well as the private sector can contribute to the protection of environment and to the economic development of the area.We use cookies to help provide and enhance our service and tailor content and ads.

Further, 16,000MW also includes large Hydro Electricity power plants that fall out of the scope of “renewable energy resources” under the Renewable Energy Law. Greece’s parliament has approved a new law governing the renewable energies sector. 1000 MW Renewable Power has been installed in 2009 by private sector and 19,6% of Turkey’s electricity has been produced thru Renewable Energy Resources. At the same time, the research takes into account the existing legislative regulations for the uses as well as for the spatial planning frames for the RES.For the exploration of repercussions was used not only the research of elements and that of primary sources but also the methodology of interviews as well as the observation on the spot.
