OT.gr reports that Greece is emerging as a leading option in Europe for global enterprises interested in investing in Renewable Energy Sources (RES) through Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).
Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) are long-term contracts between renewable energy producers and large corporations seeking to secure electricity at stable prices in a sustainable manner.
Tech giants such as Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have either already positioned themselves in the RES market in Greece or have expressed interest in entering into PPA contracts, as the county has become appealing due to several factors ranging from geographical location to an investment-friendly environment.

Strategic Geographic Location: Positioned at the crossroads of Europe, Asia, and Africa, Greece offers opportunities for energy network interconnections and energy exports.
Global powerhouses like Microsoft, Amazon, and Google have chosen Greece to achieve their carbon-neutral goals by 2030. Microsoft has invested in data centers in Attica, powered entirely by renewable energy, while Amazon is moving ahead with plans to purchase PPAs for solar energy to enhance its Greek infrastructure. Google has also invested in wind farms to strengthen its commitment to clean energy.
Greece’s policies promoting renewable energy and green investments, alongside EU funding programs, continue to attract major multinationals. The benefits include:
Long-term Energy Price Stability: PPAs provide consistent energy costs.
Economic Sustainability: They support renewable energy investments.
