As the project developer Nur Energie indicates, a 50MW CSP tower plant on the island of Crete is under development, the first of its kind in Greece. The site on Crete is one of the best areas in Europe for solar energy projects as it presents the highest solar resource potential. Greece currently offers a feed-in-tariff regime for CSP with a 25-year-term PPA. Crete is an autonomous island and so electricity prices to consumers are high.

Recently, the official announcement by China Gezhouba Group International Engineering Co., Ltd. & Zhejiang SUPCON Solar Technology Co., Ltd. has stated that the EPC consortium has signed the framework agreement with the project developer Nur-MOHHeliothermal S.A. (JV of Nur Energie & Motor Oil Hellas). Sourced by CSP Focus, ESE Engineering Services for Energy S.r.l. will also join this project and play the role as Owner's Engineer.
