Poros to become third ‘green’ island of Greece

·

During the COP28 conference in Dubai, Kyriakos Mitostakis announced that Poros will become the third ‘green’ island of Greece.

As part of the governments GR-eco islands national initiative, Poros will transform into a green island which is inspired by its pilot examples of Astypalea and Halki.

The project will see the installation of a photovoltaic park covering a significant part of the islands annual energy needs, with the addition of electrifying public transportation including ferry connections between Poros and the mainland.
