EDP Renouvelables (EDPR) continues to consolidate its position in the Greek market with the inauguration of its second project, the “Erimia” wind farm in Malesina. With an installed capacity of 35MW, this wind farm enables EDPR to almost double its capacity in Greece, now reaching 80MW. This strategic expansion reflects EDPR’s commitment to investing in robust, sustainable energy infrastructures. Greece has been pursuing an ambitious wind energy strategy since 2023.

Economic and social impact

The investment in the “Erimia” wind farm demonstrates EDPR’s commitment to supporting local communities and stimulating regional economic growth. The project is expected to generate around 71GWh per year, providing clean energy to over 18,000 homes. This increased capacity strengthens Greece’s position as a key player in Europe’s renewable energy sector.
Dionysios Andronas, Managing Director of EDPR in Greece, emphasized: “This project is proof of our long-term commitment to the Greek market and our ongoing expansion strategy.” The inauguration event was attended by key figures such as Alexandra Sdoukou, Greek Deputy Minister of Environment and Energy, and Adonis Georgiadis, Vice-President of New Democracy and Minister of Health.

Future plans and strategic vision

EDP Renouvelables, with an installed capacity of over 5.5GW in Europe, continues to invest in large-scale renewable energy projects. The company has a €12 billion investment plan up to 2026, aimed at boosting its capacities and supporting the energy transition. In Greece, EDPR has a pipeline of over 100MW of projects under construction, including solar farms and stand-alone storage systems.
With the inauguration of the “Erimia” wind farm, EDPR reaffirms its aggressive growth strategy and its leading role in the renewable energies sector. This initiative contributes not only to increasing the country’s energy capacity, but also to diversifying its energy sources.
