  Energy transition constitutes a major challenge for the whole planet. Once implemented following an effective, rational and fair approach, it can be the lever for sustainable economic and social growth for all citizens, especially for regions with high Renewable Energy Sources (RES) potential. The present article focuses on the effort of the Sifnos Energy Community (SEC) towards this direction. Typically, as all Aegean Sea islands, Sifnos has been blessed with remarkable wind potential, available on constant basis during the whole year (average wind velocity at 9 m/s). The intensive land morphology favors the installation of seawater Pumped Hydro Storage systems (PHS), with large storage capacity and minimized set-up cost. A Hybrid Power Plant (HPP) has been proposed for the island by SEC, as the main energy transition project in Sifnos. It consists of a 12 MW win.. View More»
