Sustainable Energy in
The Cyclades Islands

  • 10 municipalities from the Cyclades Islands region have joined the Covenant of Mayors initiative and have submitted Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAPs)
  • 15 islands from the region have joined the Pact of Islands initiative 

About The Cyclades Islands

The region comprises of a group of approximately 220 islands. 24 of the 220 islands are inhabited. The region consists of 19 municipalities.

At 2005, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) was 18.831 € showing a 31% growing from 2000.

During the last forty years the Cyclades have become one of the most famous tourist destinations in Greece. Apart from tourism, Cyclades economic activities include traditional agriculture and fishery, mining and ship construction. 

One of the major characteristics of the region is the geographical isolation and also the land split which causes severe communication and access obstacles.

The region still lacks specific technical infrastructure (marine installations, water supply, soil process installations, etc).  One of the most important problems is the water shortage that the islands are facing, not only because of climate change but also due to non-rational use of the water resources.

Energy in The Cyclades Islands

Electricity consumption in year 2008:  750.365 MWh

2 islands, out of the 24, are connected to the mainland. However the planned interconnection project which is under realisation aims at connecting 3 more islands in the 1st phase and 3 more islands during the 2nd phase.

  • RES installed capacity
    – Interconnected islands → 1,6 MW
    – Non-interconnected islands → 10 MW
  • Thermal installed capacity
    – Non-interconnected islands → ~250 MW

Vision, Planned Activities & Goals

The region of South Aegean has a strong representation in the Network of Sustainable Aegean Islands (DAFNI). At regional level, its aim is to support the islands to implement their sustainable energy action plans, realize innovative sustainable energy projects within their territories and assist them to meet their CO2 emissions reduction targets. In this framework, the region organises regional public information and awareness events for the support of the Covenant of Mayors and the Pact of Islands initiatives. At European level, its aim is to take part in the networks that are being formulated, support the coordinated promotional activities that are in line with the targets of the region and contribute to the development of a tighter co-operation among European regions.

Note: The Municipality of Poseidonia, which provided a letter of support for the project belongs to the South Aegean Region.

Regional Sustainable Energy Action Plan

The Sustainable Energy Action Plan (SEAP) for the Cyclades Islands is being developed as part of the ENNEREG project.

Strategy for future action in the ENNEREG regions

Experience from the ENNEREG Regions [EN] During the project, the ENNEREG partners have worked in the development of sustainable energy action plans (SEAP) in their represented regions and in the promotion of sustainable energy projects (SEP). The objective of this document is to present how they intend to continue their efforts after the end of the project, developing the activities planned in the regional SEAP and ensuring the attraction of the necessary resources to promote sustainable energy projects.

Some of the SEAPs defined with the support of the project have been approved by the respective administrations and others still need to be matured to be accepted at the regional level and to be implemented. Thus, the situation is not the same in every region, and the approach to work in sustainable energy is not the same either. This document summarizes the common as well as the specific aspects about how the regions expect to organize and carry on the work on sustainable energy in the next future.
