Use of Renewable Energy Sources for Energy Generation in Rural Areas in the Island of Crete, Greece

John Vourdoubas · 2020 · European Journal of Environment and Earth Sciences

Summary. Crete's rural areas harness diverse renewable energy sources—solar, wind, hydro, biomass, and geothermal—which currently supply 30% of installed capacity and generate over 20% of annual electricity. The island possesses sufficient renewable resources to meet nearly all energy needs, enabling transition to a low-carbon economy. Future grid interconnection and emerging technologies will expand renewable applications, creating local jobs while reducing fossil fuel imports and meeting EU climate targets.
