Abstract

According to the Amsterdam Treaty, declaration No. 30, “…insular regions suffer from structural handicaps linked to their island status, the permanence of which impairs their economic and social development”. Considering the above, the present work aims to present different aspects of the current energy and water situation in Mediterranean Sea islands, using as case studies two representative French and Greek island regions. To this end, common problems as well as differences that call upon the elaboration of more case-specific solutions are identified. Accordingly, emphasis is given on future prospects for renewable energy sources and the role of integrated, hybrid solutions including energy storage and desalination aspects.
