With a grand and celebratory ceremony—worthy of its importance and impact—and in a particularly warm atmosphere, the flagship European Commission project New Energy Solutions Optimized for Islands (NESOI) was officially concluded today, 28 February 2024, in Brussels.
Both the Minoan Energy Community and the Sifnos Energy Community had the opportunity to participate in this project through dedicated funding for the development of their respective sub‑projects, Sustainable Actions for Viable Energy (SAVE) for Minoan Energy, and Seeking Innovations For eNergy Optimized Saving (SIFNOS) for the Sifnos Energy Community.
These two initiatives involved the design study of a smart electricity grid in Crete, the energy upgrade of sports facilities in Arkalohori, the development of a central solar‑collector station and a district heating network for hot‑water production in Sifnos, and energy‑saving interventions in the island’s municipal water‑supply network.
We extend our warmest thanks to the NESOI project for approving and funding these two initiatives, for supporting their implementation, and for the honor of inviting us to present them at today’s closing ceremony.
Our involvement in NESOI has been a unique experience—an important material and moral support to our efforts, and a clear confirmation that in our struggle for a fair energy transition, we are not alone.
NESOI, we are grateful!!!
