However, together with the applications for connection conditions submitted to ADMIE, we are up to 80 GW , with the result that the demand for new connections has already exhausted the capacity of the grids by 2032-2033.

According to the data presented yesterday by Mr. Nikos Tsafos, advisor to the Prime Minister at an event of ELETAEN, at the moment in Greece the maximum load (peak demand) that has occurred in extreme conditions (heatwave, high consumption due to air conditioning) is 11 GW.
