4 FACTORS OF REGIONAL ENERGY PROGRAMMING IN CRETE Insularity High rates of social economic development high rates of increase of energy demand High rates of increase of the tertiary sector (tourism, etc.) Low level of industrial activity High cost of energy supply High cost of kwh production (structure of the electricity production system)

5 FACTORS OF REGIONAL ENERGY PROGRAMMING IN CRETE (2) Concentration of inhabitants in the urban areas High potential of Renewable Energy Sources Very important potential of Rational Use of Energy and Energy Saving Strict environmental limitations Connection integration of the energy policy to other policies of development

6 Energy policy and programming of the Region of Crete Unanimous Decisions of the Regional Council of Crete: 11/3/1994 9/5/ /2/1996 4/4/ /12/ /2/2003 Modernisation, environmental upgrading, electricity back-up for the whole electricity system of Crete: network, plant under construction, relocation of plant Maximisation of the RES penetration in the energy system: new private investments for grid and off-grid installations, reverse pumping storage systems, promotion of all forms of RES, MSW energy recovery Maximisation of Rational Use of Energy and Energy Saving installations and measures: new private investments (tourism-services), reduction of electricity peaks... Continuous information-promotion campaigns: raising awareness, involvement of local authorities, interventions to schools, targeted exhibitions brochures
