RES & RAEEY License Publication Guide

The development of generation assets powered by Renewable Energy Sources (solar, wind farms, biomass, storage solutions) is undergoing unprecedented growth in Greece. However, the trajectory from initial blueprint to live commercial operation is strictly governed by a rigorous licensing architecture, within which the public disclosure rules enforced by the Regulatory Authority for Waste, Energy and Water (RAEEY / formerly RAE) hold a central position.

In this guide, we dissect the RES - RAE license publication workflow, the critical regulatory deadlines that must be monitored, and how selecting the appropriate certified press media insulates your infrastructure investment from administrative rejections.

Why is Newspaper Publication Mandatory?

Under the active licensing code, every natural or legal entity submitting an application for the issuance, amendment, or transfer of a Producer Certificate (or Generation License) is statutorily required to execute the publication of a clear application abstract in the press. The purpose is twofold:

• Transparency: Briefing the competent local regional authorities and civil society regarding the planned energy infrastructure.
• Right to Object: Triggering the official legal window during which any entity proving a legitimate interest can formally lodge objections with RAEEY against the permit's issuance.

The Strict Timelines Imposed by RAEEY

The operational calendar window for finalizing press insertion is exceptionally tight. The application abstract must hit the certified newspapers within the precise number of days dictated by law from the formal electronic submission date on the Authority’s portal. Any omission or delayed press entry inside this window results in the automatic dismissal of the filing as inadmissible, forcing the developer to re-submit applications and administrative fees from scratch.

What Information Must the Abstract Contain?

The text draft slated for press injection must follow standardized guidelines and definitely list:

1. The full legal corporate name of the applicant or investing group.
2. The operational asset technology (e.g., Photovoltaic, Wind).
3. The maximum power generation capacity (expressed in MW).
4. The exact territorial and geographical coordinates (Location, Municipality, Regional Unit), frequently backed by the polygonal coordinates of the installation site.
