Question for written answer E-002244/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Maria Zacharia (NI)
Greece is implementing an energy model based on the uncontrolled insurgence of industrial renewable energy sources (RES), leading to oversupply of power, decreases in production expected to reach 30 % by 2030 (rather than the mere 4 % predicted in the national energy and climate plan), as well as serious risks to the stability of the electricity grid, as confirmed by the recent widespread blackout in Spain. At the same time, the mass installation of RES in Natura 2000 sites, forest ecosystems, agricultural land and close to settlements has led to deforestation, biodiversity loss and an overall degradation of the natural environment.
In view of the above, and in accordance with Articles 4 and 11 of Regulation (EU) 2024/1991, can the Commission say:
- 1.How does it assess the compatibility of Greece’s energy planning with the commitments of the aforementioned Nature Restoration Regulation?
- 2.Will it demand that degraded areas be immediately added to the national restoration list and that existing installations be removed from protected areas?
- 3.Will it recommend freezing new RES permits until this model is reassessed?
