Greece accelerated wind-power construction in the first half of 2026 but remains on course to fall short of its 2030 capacity target, according to projections contained in the document.
Developers commissioned 321 MW of wind capacity in the first six months of the year, more than double the 152 MW added in the same period of 2025.
That lifted installed operating wind capacity to 6.017 GW at the end of June.
WindEurope projections cited in the document expect around 450 MW to be commissioned in 2026, followed by 430 MW in 2027, 400 MW in 2028 and around 350 MW in each of 2029 and 2030.
On that trajectory, Greece would reach about 7.65 GW of wind capacity by 2030, around 1.25 GW below the 8.9 GW target contained in its National Energy and Climate Plan.
All of the projected capacity would be onshore.
Offshore wind is further behind. The projections do not expect Greece to have commercial offshore wind capacity operating by 2030, while the country has set a goal of 1.9 GW by 2032.
Two pilot projects in the northern Aegean with combined planned capacity of 600 MW have been cancelled, although Greece has reserved 2.35 GW of grid capacity for initial offshore projects.
Permitting has also advanced slowly. Authorities approved 214 MW of wind projects during the first half of 2026, compared with 206 MW a year earlier.
The figures suggest Greece would need faster permitting and a stronger onshore development pipeline to narrow the gap to its 2030 target, while offshore projects would have to accelerate considerably to contribute materially early in the next decade.
