Greece
reached the total installed
capacity of 3547 MW, as 900 MW of solar farms were installed, as well as 100 MW
of wind farms and a few additions of other RES. Of those 3547 MW, 3147 MW are

islands.
It
is also worth mentioning that in December, hydro plants significantly increased
their production due to heavy rainfall. Small hydro power stations increased
