With an average of 2800 hours of sun a year, Greece still hasn’t fully harnessed solar power to generate electricity and on one day in May disconnected 1 Gigawatt (GW) of solar plants from the grid.
That was May 5 – Easter – two days after the country’s transmission system operator, IPTO, said that it had to halt electricity imports from neighboring countries through May 7 ensure the safe operation of the Greek electricity system. IPTO said it didn’t bring in any electricity at all from Italy, Albania, North Macedonia and Turkey, and partially from Bulgaria with caps imposed.
