Purpose and Object of the project
The European Union (EU) has already set targets for achieving climate neutrality with the main objective being the development of renewable energy sources (RES) for 2030 up to 40%. In this context, the development of offshore wind farms is now a European and national political priority, as they can contribute the most to the achievement of the above goals and, in general, to the decarbonization of the planet.
The purpose of the project is the further study for the optimal location of the offshore wind farms in Crete, with the aim of strengthening the energy security of the island, the release of land and the exploitation of the offshore wind potential.
