Transforming Crete into a renewable, secure and independent energy system for all
The European energy sector is facing unprecedented challenges, highlighting the urgent need for affordable, autonomous and green energy solutions.
Co-funded by the European Union, CRETE VALLEY is a project that will turn Crete into a fully sustainable, decentralised energy system, enabling the island to meet its energy needs through renewable sources.
To achieve this, CRETE VALLEY will pioneer the first Renewable Energy Valley ‘Living Lab’ (REV-Lab) in Europe. The REV-Lab will consist of four Community Energy Labs (CELs) located across Crete to rely on different renewable energy sources including solar, wind, geo-exchange, biomass, biogas/biomethane and hydrogen.
CRETE VALLEY will leverage innovative ICT technologies and digital solutions to benefit the communities involved, demonstrate the scalability of renewable energy systems and accelerate the green transition.
