As Greeceβs BESS auction enters its most critical phase, attention is shifting from the initial assessment of applications to the final priority lists β and to the mechanisms available for challenging them.
With approximately 9 GW of projects competing for only 4.7 GW of available grid capacity, even a change in the ranking of a single project may have significant implications for multiple investments.
In our latest Energy & Infrastructure Legal Briefing, Koutalidis Law Firm examines the current framework and explains why the introduction of a clear, fast and structured objections procedure could be critical for ensuring transparency, equal treatment, legal certainty and the timely completion of the BESS process.
The briefing also looks at:
β’ the legal remedies currently available to participants;
β’ the types of eligibility and ranking issues that may give rise to challenges; and
β’ the key safeguards that an effective objections mechanism should include, from short deadlines and specialised review to transparency and access to relevant information.
The briefing was prepared under the guidance of Evans (Evangelos) Courakis, Partner & Head of Energy and Infrastructure, with contributions from Evangelos Mylonas – Tsoumas, Senior Associate, and Mariadina Lili, Associate.
