Central Greece remains Greece’s wind powerhouse, as it hosts 44% of the nation’s wind installations (2,427 MW), followed by the Peloponnese (709MW) and Eastern Macedonia–Thrace (535MW).

Greece’s wind energy sector is poised for a significant surge, with over 1 GW of new wind farms either currently under construction or officially contracted. HWEA expects that the vast majority of these projects will integrated into Greece’s national power grid within the next 18 months.
