Onshore wind farms

From Thrace to Crete and from Achaia, Peloponnese to Rhodes island, ELICA has developed, constructed and put into operation 27 onshore wind farms, with a total capacity of 460 MW. In particular, the Parks have been developed in Thrace, Kafireas Evia, Mani, Crete, Korinthia, Achaia and Rhodes, while its portfolio of under development projects includes clusters of licensed wind farms in Crete and the Cyclades (Andros, Tinos, Paros, Naxos).

For the last 25 years ELICA Group has been a pioneer in the RES sector, successfully promoting and implementing the installation of wind farms in the region of Thrace, while in Kafireas Evia, it designed and licensed a cluster of eight wind farms with a total capacity of 181 MW. The specific project includes a 42 km long independent submarine interconnection of South Evia with Attica.

Offshore wind farms

Elica Group holds the only production license for offshore wind parks in Greece today. In 2012, the Group received from the Regulatory Authority of Energy (2012) a Production License for the installation of a 216MW offshore wind farm in the sea area south of Alexandroupolis.

Photovoltaic Power Stations

In 2006 the Group started its activity in the field of energy production from photovoltaic plants; now it owns 170 PV projects in operation. Their total capacity is 24 MW and extends throughout Greece (Achaia, Messinia, Crete, Rhodes, Thesprotia, Florina, Karditsa, Larissa, Fthiotida and Viotia).

Having already extensive experience in the design and construction of photovoltaic plants in areas even with special morphological characteristics, the Group currently develops solar energy projects with a total capacity of over 900 MW in various licensing stages, while rapidly expanding the development prospects of this portfolio with new projects that will meet the licensing and technical requirements.

Small hydroelectric power stations

The production of electricity from Small Hydroelectric Power Stations has also been a part of the Group’s activity. Having licensed, constructed and put into operation two relevant projects on the Inachos River, at Perivoli in the Municipality of Sperchiada, near Lamia, with an installed capacity of 4.5 MW and on the river Glafkos in the prefecture of Achaia, with an installed capacity of 5.5 MW, it is constantly expanding its investment activity in this field.

At the same time, the Group has significant experience in areas related to the assessment of hydrological conditions and in general the design of relevant projects. Thus, it continues to explore suitable areas throughout Greece, in order to identify those that can meet the demanding technical and licensing-environmental requirements for the development of Small Hydroelectric Stations.

Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS)

The declared European goal of the energy transition from the era of fossil fuel to the era of renewables, goes through the more efficient management of the existing energy supply.
In this regard, the use of the necessary number, power and distribution of central energy storage units is proving to be the most technologically optimal and mature solution.

It is noted that here too the ELICA Group was a pioneer as it is the first organization in Greece to receive from the Energy Regulatory Authority two Production Licenses for the development of Central Storage Units in Greece. At the same time, it has received four (4) Production Licenses for corresponding number of BESS of 125 MW in the areas of Kozani, Rodopi and Evros.

As part of the further development of the above projects, ELICA Group is currently in extensive discussions with major companies operating worldwide in the field of Energy Storage, in order to develop synergies aiming at the optimal, from the techno-economic point of view, finalization of the design and final implementation of these projects. To this respect three more Production Licenses, each with a capacity of 50MW, have been issued by the Group.

Construction of RES Projects

In more than 20 years of its operation, the Group has gained specialized experience in projects with high technical requirements, in areas often with special complex terrain characteristics. These projects, in several cases were completed in record time, despite the multiple challenges faced by the Group's specialized team.

In these projects, the Group constructs the accompanying works, such as road construction and interconnections, always utilizing the local workforce and local contractors.

Ιts portfolio includes projects such as: the construction of five Substations, the installation of lengthy overhead and underground Medium and High Voltage lines, including the most characteristic underground cable line of about 38 km in the area of Mani, access roads and road construction works in inaccessible areas with difficult climatic characteristics.

But he has also participated in another demanding project, that of the construction of the complex project of the construction of the main and accompanying works of the array of eight wind farms in the Kafirea area of ​​South Evia.

Operation and Maintenance of RES Projects

The experienced and fully trained staff of ELICA currently oversees all areas related to the monitoring of operation and maintenance - regular and corrective - of a total of 7 wind farms and 170 photovoltaic stations throughout Greece, in order to increase their availability and the immediate resolution of all issues related to the obstruction of their smooth and effective operation. The operation and maintenance of RES projects aims at their most efficient management by maximizing their productive capacity.

Photovoltaic panel factories

Tiles, cells, frames. The installation and operation of two plants production of photovoltaic wafers, cells and modules of polycrystalline silicon in the Industrial Area of ​​Patras, has arisen since the joining of forces between PIRITIUM SA and SILCIO SA, a Group company.

More specifically, the PIRITIUM S.A. factory uses suitable for silicon (SoGSi) suitable for photovoltaic applications in order to produce approximately 33 MWp of polysilicon wafers, while the industrial unit of SILCIO S.A. has capacity to produce photovoltaic cells with a capacity of 30 MWp and photovoltaic modules with a capacity of 24 MWp.
