Its maximum peak demand for current In Greece it was recorded in 2007, when it was temporarily reached 10,911 MW.
Since then, the financial crisis has significantly reduced the overall demand and even to date the peak has not hit that number, despite increased electricity needs due to air conditioners in the summers.
Indicatively, this year during the summer months, the noon peak was close to about 10,500 MW, but has increased in recent years and is expected to grow further in the next few.
According to ADMIE’s forecasts, there are already 11,000 MW spikes in 2026, and in 2030 the 12,000 MW level is projected to break. This is reasonable, as demand will increase due to the voltage for electricity of sectors such as transport and heating, in the context of what the national plan for energy and climate (ESEK) dictates.
Indeed, ADMIE estimates that the peak of demand will be close to 13,000 MW in 2034.
In detail, the Scenarios of ADMIE and ESECs are reflected as follows:
It is worth noting that the manager’s estimates are clearly more tempered than those of ESEC, which sees much more rapid rise in demand and peaks.
