Summary of policies
A database of PV installers and RES professionals (including RES installers) was developed and updated by the Centre for Renewable Energy Sources (CRES). The introduction of new energy efficiency standards promotes, or even imposes the installation of RES in new buildings and in public buildings. Apart from that, incentives are offered for the installation of RES in existing buildings. In addition, Greece is supporting RD&D activities.
