New applications are submitted within a cycle. A cycle is defined as the first ten (10) days of each month.

Until the creation of the Electronic Energy Storage Register, applications can be submitted electronically to info@rae.gr.

New applications must be accompanied by all documents mentioned in Article 132 of Law 4001/2011.

Applications must be accompanied by a shapefile according to the template and instructions. The file should have polygonal geometry, match the submitted topographical diagram and have the properties table completed.

Applications must not be accompanied by newspaper publications. The announcement of the new applications of each cycle is made on the RAE website by RAE itself, up to twenty (20) days after the end of the cycle.

Amendment requests are submitted within the cycle accompanied by all the necessary documents of Article 132 of Law 4001/2011 and the submission fee, except for amendments outside the cycle, which are as follows:
(a) reducing the boundaries of the facility polygon, since the modified polygon is a subset of the original polygon
(b) reduction or increase of the maximum power injected from a storage station or the maximum power absorbed to a percentage less than or equal to ten percent (10%) of the corresponding price of the original storage license
(c) reducing or increasing the installed capacity of the storage station by less than or equal to twenty-five percent (25%) of the price of the original storage permit

The fee for submitting a modification within a cycle is 12 euros/MW of maximum injection power, with a maximum of 2,400 euros. Especially in the case of a request to increase the maximum injection power of the Electricity Storage Station beyond ten percent (10%), the fee is set at 60 euros/MW of maximum injection power added to the initially listed in the Storage Permit. For out-of-cycle amendments, no submission fee is payable.

Applications must be accompanied by proof of holding the installation location, only if it is a private area. If it is a public area, a declaration that it is public is sufficient.

The deadline is six (6) months from the date of issuance of the Storage License. Especially for Storage Licenses issued until December 31, 2022, this deadline is extended by six (6) additional months.
