Environmental Priorities
Economic Barriers for the Decentralised RE Generation and Storage
- Requirements for private investments by the consumers;
- To mobilise capital it is necessary to find ways to increase the value of the decentralised power assets, as well as to find ways to monetise this value;
- Need for a clear business proposition in order to facilitate access to funding.

Technical Barriers for the Decentralised RE Generation and Storage
- Requirements for significant intelligence at both Distribution & Transmition Grid;
- Interoperability: Need for standardised interfaces for the deployment of small scale solutions for innovative energy system integration and management;
- Need for technical specifications for small-scale electricity storage.
Regulatory Barriers for the Decentralised RE Generation and Storage
- Need for legal support for new business models in the energy sector;
- Inertia due to existing and planned investments in centralised generation;
- Need for clear responsibilities and contractual arrangements to ensure system's stability;
- Need for alignment between current technological capabilities and the current building code.
- Critical role of Financing Institutions, positive and netagive at the same time;
- Inertia of the Technical Chamber of Greece to establish required registries.
