Description
The project is needed as the Municipality of Skyros perceives the protection, upgrade, and sustainable management of the environment as a necessity for the improvement of its resident’s quality of life. The Municipality also seeks to become a pioneer in exerting environmental policy and implementing the principles of sustainable development. In addition, another fundamental need for the Municipality is the use of Renewable Energy Sources for the production and consumption of energy and the decrease of CO2 emissions.
The project aims to implement innovative technologies with the integration of Renewable Energy Sources and other Energy Saving practices. The project’s ultimate purpose is energy autonomy with the aim to reduce or even eliminate electricity consumption from the grid.
The project consists of the following sub-projects. First, the supply and installation of innovative Renewable Energy Sources and Energy Efficiency interventions in buildings and facilities of the Municipality of Skyros. Second, the supply of measuring equipment. Third, the provision of specialized consulting services for the scientific support of the project implementation. Fourth, the provision of specialized services for the dissemination of the project results.
The project plans to apply smart innovative Renewable Energy Sources technologies and energy efficiency interventions in the Municipality’s buildings. Its innovative nature lies in the integration of different technologies in a holistic system.
The local community is expected to benefit from the proposed interventions in the following ways. First, autonomous consumption will reduce the cost of electricity. Second, CO2 emissions will also be reduced. Third, the integration of good practices in the energy use of the available renewable potential will create new perspectives for entrepreneurship both with the creation of integrated technological solutions and interventions, and with the staff’s involvement and specialization.
