Greek Government is Considering a Strategy to Boost Desalination on the Aegean Islands After a New Plant on Hydra Cut the Price of Water
Athens is understood to view view the plant on Hydra as a potential blueprint which could be followed by other islands. Environment minister Yiannis Maniatis has been reported as saying said he would be hosting a meeting at the ministry next week to discuss a strategy for creating similar desalination plants "on all the Aegean islands."
Zoidis said that there was a lack of coordination between government departments and municipalities regarding the installation of desalination plants and that the government would have to improve on this.
The 1,600 cubic meters of water a day plant at Hydra was built by Greek firm, Temak, which won an international tender to build and run the unit for 12 years.
