Abstract: The introduction of wind-power generators to cover the energy needs of waste-water treatment plants in small, medium and large islands in the Aegean archipelagos has been investigated. Simple algorithms linking population with the additional electricity needed are developed. The availability of wind-power generation is estimated for the Weibull distribution and various sizes of wind turbines. Wind turbines with rated capacity around 300 kW are the best candidates for electricity production. The need for interconnecting the electricity grids of the small, autonomous systems of the islands is emphasized. We find that the area can become a net energy exporter to the mainland of Greece and other countries.
