Insula exilaților a devenit miracolul verde al Greciei. Cum a scăpat Agios Efstratios de dictatura petrolului în doar 10 luni

Agios Efstratios, a small Greek island, has transitioned to nearly 100% renewable energy, primarily from wind and solar sources. The pilot project "Ai Stratis – Green Island" has exceeded expectations, with energy covering up to 98% of consumption during certain months. The €7.23 million project, funded largely by EU cohesion funds, features a 900 kW wind turbine, a 225 kW solar park, and a battery storage system. Surplus energy is used for local heating, reducing CO2 emissions significantly. The island's history includes political exile and a devastating earthquake, but it now attracts eco-tourism. The successful model is being replicated on other Greek islands, promoting energy independence.
