Renewable energy in Greece accounted for 8% of the country's total energy consumption in 2008. 12% of Greece's electricity comes from Hydroelectric power plants.

In 2015, renewable energy counted for more than 20% of the energy produced in Greece; this excludes energy produced by hydroelectic means, which accounts for more than 8%.

According to the new policy, all types of new renewable energy plants connected to the grid after Jan. 1, 2016, need to participate in the energy market.

Their compensation will consist of what they make in the power market plus a variable feed-in premium. The latter is the difference between a price depending on market variables (e.g., the system’s marginal price) and a set price decided via a competitive tender.
