2. The wind park of Kithnos island is one of
the first parks which was made in the
whole world.
3. This park is placed close to the capital of the
island and it had 5 wind turbines to collect
energy. The managers of this idea started
this project since 1978 but it finally finished
at 1982.
4. This was the reason to build more wind parks at
other island that couldn’t have energy!
In the left photograph we can see where the
island of Kithnos is and in the right photo we
can see other islands with wind parks(the
islands that are coloured blue have wind parks).
5. 5 wind turbines that collect about 20 kW
each.
But unfortunately a wind park can only work
for 30 years, so after those years it closed
because it couldn’t work that well.
6. Although that now it’s closed, it had achieved
to cover the 75% of electricity of the whole
island instead of the 25% that it was designed
to cover! So we can easily say that it had
worked perfectly!
7. But because it had stopped working, we
don’t have more information about it. That
doesn’t mean that it’s an unimportant
building! It still remains one of the first wind
parks in the world!
