RWE and the Greek Public Power Corporation (DEI) have officially launched nearly 1 gigawatt (GW) of solar power projects in Western Macedonia, marking a significant advancement in Greece's energy transition. This initiative is part of a broader effort to move away from coal and towards renewable energy sources. The projects consist of nine large solar parks with a total capacity of 930 megawatts (MWp), which are expected to satisfy the annual energy needs of over 400,000 households.

The solar power facilities have been developed by METON ENERGEIAKI AE, a joint venture between RWE, holding a 51% stake, and DEI, with a 49% stake. In addition to the existing projects, further solar developments totaling 567 MWp are currently under construction in the region. The facilities are located within the boundaries of the former open-pit lignite mine in Amyntaio, illustrating a shift in land use from fossil fuel extraction to renewable energy production.
