Abstract: The wind electricity production was considered in conjunction with the electricity requirements of a solar evaporation salt plant. The case of a future application in a small island of the Aegean sea was examined and a framework for evaluating the needs of the combined operation for the salt plant and the wind generators was established. It was shown that for wind power production to have a successful penetration in small isolated electricity grids, together with the installation of new electricity consuming plants, careful planning is needed. Wind energy has a vast potential, but its wide introduction must be preceded by step-by-step analysis of the ever increasing energy demand, its monthly variation and the possibility of utilizing it for other activities that match its time profile.
