The residents of the small island of Halki, in collaboration with the municipality, can fully cover their energy needs and reduce their electricity bills to virtual nil due to the operation of the island’s photovoltaic park, created as part of the GRecoIslands program.
The GR-ecoIslands initiative with the state-of-the-art photovoltaic park of Halki, with a power of 1MW, covers the local energy needs of the residents, giving them the possibility to zero the bills for the electricity they consume through “Virtual Net-Metering.”
Halki was the first island to pave the way for GREcoislands, the national initiative aimed at the complete green transition of small islands. It is part of the Greek government’s effort to combat climate change while promoting sustainable development and empowering the green economy and cutting-edge technologies.
