This master’s thesis investigates techno-economic pathways towards energy and economic autonomy for non-interconnected Greek islands served by public service obligation routes. Patmos and Donousa are examined as case studies, complemented by a European reference case (the Åland Islands), enabling a structured comparison of governance, technical architectures and bankability drivers.
The analysis contrasts high-renewables penetration configurations with storage and microgrid operation (Donousa) and transitional decarbonization options based on lower-carbon fuels and high-efficiency generation (Patmos: LNG and SOFC fuel cells). Lifecycle indicators (LCOE, NPC, IRR) are assessed alongside sensitivity testing for the cost of capital, fuel price uncertainty, storage costs and the timing of grid reinforcements.
In addition, the thesis embeds a structured risk assessment (risk register and mitigation measures) and monetizes social benefits via reliability and resilience metrics (ENS, VoLL), reduced subsidies (PSO/YKO) and improved continuity of critical services (water desalination, healthcare and telecommunications). The findings provide robust design and policy guidelines transferable to other small island systems with similar constraints.
