3. Depends upon wind velocity and density
Its utilization possibilities depend on the
particular wind characteristics of each area,
such as, wind direction, velocity and density,
as well as peak values and turbulence.
4. Areas whose mean annual velocity
exceeds 10 m/s are generally
considered as high wind potential
areas.
It is an inexhaustible source of energy,
which contributes to the prevention of
greenhouse gas emissions.

6. Operation of a typical 10 MW wind farm can
provide the annual equivalent electric power
for 7.250 households, saving the equivalent of
2.580 tons of fuel oil.
In Greece, a typical 750 kW wind generator will
produce 2.25 millions kWh on average,
preventing the emission of 2.250 tons of
carbon dioxide.
It other terms it contributes to the
environment the annual equivalent of 3.000
acres of forest or 150.000 trees.

8. Sun is an inexhaustible source of power,
which can be, directly or indirectly,
altered in electric power.
The photovoltaic systems may turn the
solar power into electric, due to the
photovoltaic phenomenon.
In a country with long periods of
sunshine, such as Greece, the solar
power is an infinite energy source.
9. The first photovoltaic parks (PP) were
installed on the islands of Kithnos and
Sifnos.
In fact, the PP in Kithnos was created
in 1983 and it was the first Park of
this kind in Europe.
13. Hydroelectric plants are powered by
the hydrological cycle, also dependent
upon solar power.
Small hydroelectric projects not linked
to large water basins to regulate water
flow (and their operation as a
consequence) require a minimum
secure water flow with limited
seasonal variations.

16. Hybrid systems of power generation are
based on the combination of two different
renewable energy sources:
• wind power
• hydroelectric power
The innovative combination of these two
natural resources consists a credible
solution to the major issue of storage and
controlled grid of the generated power.
The Ikaria Hybrid Power Plant is currently
under construction is considered the first of its
kind in Europe.

18. Geothermal power has been utilized since
1904 in order to produce “green” power.
The key for the production of the power
lies on the geothermal fluids, such as,
underground seas or other kind of water
tanks.
Today, the total capacity of the installed
geothermoelectric units surpasses the
9,000 MW, rendering the Geothermy a
reliable, available and environmentally
friendly alternative source of energy.
19. In our region, on the island of Nisyros,
where there is a wealthy geothermal field,
the utilization of the unexploited
geothermal fluids, which are deep down
in the Earth’s core, is the main factor for
the island’s wealth and economy growth.
Nisyros is a volcanic island
located south of the Aegean sea
between Kos and Tilos. It is part
of a group of islands called
Dodecanese
