Abstract: The development and the utilization of Renewable Energy Sources (RES) are outmost importance targets of European strategic plans in the context of sustainable development. Greece sustains a plentiful abundance of RES, which should be proven advantageous towards a gradual independence from the fossil fuels based on an ongoing exploitation of all RES, accordingly. This study aims at developing a typology of the regional units (NUTS III) of Greece based on the number and respective installed power of RES plants for the production of electricity.
