The NAERAS project The NAERAS project

Following in the footsteps of nature, using the Water (Greek “Nero”) and Air (Greek: “Aeras”) cycle, a pioneering energy project at the national and European level was created on the island of Ikaria and was named Naeras. “Naeras” on Ikaria Island is one of only two hybrid energy projects in Europe that combine wind and hydraulic power. The main objective of the project is to increase the penetration of renewable energy sources into the Ikaria Electricity Network and to reduce the quantity of conventional fuel oil used to produce energy, thus reducing substantially the carbon footprint of this iconic Aegean Island.
