Wing Energy



The winds of the Sea are the apple of disord" for prspective producers of clean electricity. The 1200 wind turbines available in the country produce about 745,6 MW, ie 2.5% of national production. By 2006 made use of harmony with the Beaufort in the Aegean Sea only 10% of wind turbines have received a license and about 2% of those who had made an application to operate. Lignite provide cheaper energy from the wind because the wind and offered "free" to install a wind turbine can be up to € 3m. and a lifetime of 20 years. The environmental gain is because for every one kilowatt-hour produced by wind disappears one kilowatt-hour produced by conventional power plants. The question whether the traditional island architecture can tolerate a short distance a wind turbine has a height of approximately 90 meters, ecologists reply: "Go on in-environmental-gain what is beauty?", To paraphrase the old folk saying. Many islanders as a modern Don Quixotes trying to put the "windmills" of the new season. To avoid turning the islands into vast parks the government has created a spatial planning that hopes to respect the environment and traditional architecture, but to transform the island into vast wind farms. The first park built in Kythnos and began operations in 1982 having five wind turbines with a total power initially 20 KW. Nowadays, however, filed a plan for installation of 87 wind turbines in Serifos, while in men who consumed 15 MW of electricity, a request for production of over 400MW. The winds are in demand in the Greek market for renewable energy and will be the spearhead for the production of clean energy. In order to cover 87% of the total green electricity, Greek winds should produce 3.372 KW, 2010.
