On 7th May 2004 EPIA Annual General Meeting opened with
the conference “Let’s bet on the Sun”. It focused on the
perspectives and potential for solar photovoltaic electricity in
Greece. This event turned out to be a real success with more than
150 participants from Greece and Europe.
Greek Deputy Development Minister George Salagoudis opened the
event announcing that the Greek government is determined to adopt
aggressive policies for the promotion of environmentally-friendly
renewable energy sources and that the government planned to provide
incentives for the wider distribution of new technological
applications like solar-powered photovoltaic (PV) systems.
Greece is the country with the highest amount of Sun in Europe
but remains one of the least equipped with PV systems, far behind
Germany and the Netherlands.
