German renewables developer WPD is looking for opportunities to expand its offshore wind portfolio in Greece, as well as onshore wind and solar.
The company has set up Greek subsidiaries WPD Solar Hellas and WPD Hellas Onshore, based in Athens, with the support of the German WPD team.
WPD Solar Hellas will develop its own portfolio of PV projects, in addition to the 345MW under development in cooperation with Zephiros EPE.
The goal is to participate in the state auctions this year and then to realise and operate the portfolios.
WPD Solar Hellas head of project development and contact person for offshore inquiries Constantinos Faitatzoglou said: “We are open to cooperations and opportunities in the Greek market.
“Thanks to our experience and successful local collaborations, we can get started here right away.”
In onshore wind, the focus will be on in-house projects, greenfield development and the establishment of new cooperations.
Negotiations currently underway open up good opportunities to build up an attractive pipeline in the coming months, the company said.
WPD Hellas Onshore head of project development Aris Liaskos said: “With an investment plan comprising over 500MW, WPD will dynamically position itself in the currently very active Greek market and successfully implement new projects and partnerships.”
