Astypalea

Based on 2022 data, the annual power demand of Astypalea amounts to about 7GWh. Currently, only about 8% of the demand is covered by RES (solar energy) with the main load being served by diesel units.

Lesvos

Lesvos has an autonomous electrical system. It is not interconnected with the mainland and its annual peak demand has been on a slight increase over the last four years reaching 63,25 MW in 2022. The island is connected to Megalonisi with a power transmission capacity of 11,5 MVA through various types of conductors.In terms of installed capacity, Lesvos showcases a diverse portfolio, of five wind farms (WFs) with a total capacity of 13,95 MW, 133 photovoltaic stations (PVs), with a total capacity of 8,838 MW and 102.6 MW of thermal units in the local power station (LPS).

Megisti (Kastellorizo)

Megisti is the easternmost and most isolated region of Greece, located 520 km from the mainland. The island is neither electrically interconnected, nor are there any relevant national plans for the future. With no RES installed as of today, all electricity is currently generated by a diesel thermal power station. Despite Megisti’s small size, electricity demand shows very high seasonality, mostly due to the large diaspora.
