What long-term strategies are employed to prevent market concentration and ensure fair competition in Greece's emerging energy storage sector?

This approach seeks to avoid past issues with renewable energy development where rights were resold rather than actual projects built. The 500 MW five-year limit on individual investor capacity, including projects already underway, aims to prevent market domination. Regional power distribution targets efficiency and affordability for consumers.
