“Ai Stratis - the first green island” is a project aiming at covering the total electricity consumption of Ai Stratis, a non-interconnected small island in the Aegean Sea, using RES technologies. At first, 85% of the electricity consumption will be covered by RES; later, the the target is for the island to become completely self-sufficient. Further plans include the installation of wind farms (500 kW), a PV farm (100 kW) and geothermal heat pumps as well as the introduction of hydrogen-fuelled cars. The project was initiated in 2011 but was not fully implemented. In 2017, the project is expected to re-initiate as it will secure funds from the National Reference Strategic Framework (NRSF) 2014-2020.
