Overview
DERVENI-MIKRO DERVENI-SLIVA is a 24 MW onshore wind farm in Greece, operated by TERNA. It contributes to Greece's renewable energy targets under the EU Renewable Energy Directive.
DERVENI-MIKRO DERVENI-SLIVA is an operational onshore wind farm located in Greece, developed and owned by TERNA. With a capacity of 24 MW, it falls within the medium-scale range for wind farms in the region, supporting the country's transition to renewable energy. The facility operates under Greece's national framework aligned with the EU Renewable Energy Directive III (2023/2413), which sets a 42.5% renewable energy target by 2030. Greece has implemented feed-in tariffs and grid connection priority for renewables, encouraging wind energy development. The 24 MW capacity represents a significant local contribution to the grid. Wind farms like DERVENI-MIKRO DERVENI-SLIVA play a key role in reducing carbon emissions and diversifying Greece's energy mix. The facility's location in the Peloponnese region benefits from consistent wind patterns, though integration into the local grid requires careful management to ensure stability.
Environmental context
The wind farm is situated in the Peloponnese region of Greece, an area with strong wind resources ideal for onshore wind energy. The local environment includes Mediterranean scrubland and agricultural areas. Wind turbines can impact bird and bat populations through collision risks, and visual landscape changes are a consideration. However, proper siting and mitigation measures help minimize these effects. The facility supports Greece's goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and reliance on fossil fuels.
