Agios Efstratios - Green Island in Greece

Author CRES
Description A small island on the edge of the northeastern Aegean Sea. Agios Efstratios or Ai Stratis is an island with 257 inhabitants according to the 2021 census. Administratively it belongs to the regional unit of Lemnos of the North Aegean region. During the 20th century it was used as a place of exile for leftists. The phenomenon peaked during the dictatorship of Ioannis Metaxas (1936-41), when hundreds of opponents of the regime were displaced there. With 85% of the energy deriving from wind turbines and photovoltaics, Ai Stratis of about 250 inhabitants will be the first and only energy-autonomous island in Greece so far.As part of the Project, the basic infrastructure for the use of electric vehicles is being created. The use of the vehicles is done by creating the appropriate infrastructure for an integrated vehicle charging station, which can also cover their possible extensive use on the island in the future.
