Tesla with renewable energy and micro electric powering a Greek island

There are several islands in Greece is relatively remote, heavy reliance on fossil fuels for power supply. Recently, tesla when they met with the Greek government, suggested that the micro grid and renewable energy for the country in the Mediterranean islands of grid modernised and to reduce dependence on fossil fuels.

for many years, tesla in the use of solar panels and energy storage system for remote islands in micro grid has accumulated some experience. In 2016, tesla in American Samoa Tau deployed a 1 on the island. 4 megawatts of solar array and a 6 megawatts of energy storage systems, including 60 tesla Powerpacks, the facility enables the islands to slash the amount of diesel generator use. Since then, the company in Samoa, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, the deployment of many of the similar system. Now they want to do similar things in Greece.

environment and energy minister George Stathakis last week confirmed that they have to meet with tesla, discussion in the Greek islands deployment of micro power grid. And issued the following statement:

& other; Today, environment and energy ministers met with Mr George Stathakis tesla executives, will improve the country's reliance on fossil fuels island problem to exchange ideas, especially those in the island can not connect with China power grid in recent years. National energy and climate improvement plans to gradually give up fuel unit and switch to renewable sources of energy ( RES） 。 Photovoltaic or wind energy, however, the randomness of the cause of modern network management technology of energy storage and recovery have a huge demand.

technology has been developing greatly reduces the storage cost, at the same time, in Greece, to invest in renewable energy competition also led to a decline in energy production costs appeared significantly. Therefore, besides is good for the environment, is also feasible in economy. Visible, the Greek government the cooperation with tesla is helpful. ”

it is reported that tesla has suggested in the region to carry out a pilot project to demonstrate their micro grid system. Government hopes will be the pilot project in Limnos island, the idea of this project is to install a large solar array, and combining with the energy storage facilities, in order to store energy during the day, for the use of night when there is no sunlight.

in fact, since last year, tesla began with the Greek government cooperation, with strong local electrical engineering talent reserves, has set up a motor r&d center
