Energy Supply Modelling: The Case of Cyclades

  • Conference paper
Computer-Based Management of Complex Systems

Abstract

The Cyclades, a group of over thirty dispersed islands in the middle of the Aegean Sea can become a case study for energy-driven regional development. High cost, low reliability and scarcity of energy have significantly contributed to the underdevelopment of the, region. There is a lack of local conventional energy sources, but the potential of renewable energy sources, namely geothermal, wind and solar is many times greater than the region’s energy needs.
