Så härliga bilder och så bra information.Tack för det! Jag var på Peloponnessos hösten 2000 3 dagar av en Atensemester och även någon dag sommaren 2001 då vi stannade till en dag på väg från Parga till Aten. t o r ... Där ÄR vackert! Eftersom jag alltså åkt vägen Aten -Korintkanalen flera ggr så förstår jag hur välkommet snabbtåget är! Jag förstår inte riktigt varför Peloponnessos är så lite besökt i förhållande till andra turistorter.. Men det kommer! Än en gång tack för fina bilder

Development minister inaugurates windpower park in the Peloponnese

Development Minister Dimitris Sioufas on Friday inaugurated a windpower park in the prefect of Argolida, in the Peloponnese.

The park includes 12 winpower generators and will have a production capacity of 70 million KW. Energy produced by the park will be distributed to Public Power Corporation's electricity grid in the country.

The Greek minister, in his inauguration speech, said it was a remarkable project for the region that would benefit the country as a whole. "The government is committed to earmark funds from a Fourth Community Support Framework for the development of Greek regions," Sioufas said.

A Development ministry's plan to deregulate the country's electricity, natural gas and bio-fuel markets aims to secure 20 percent of energy needs from alternative energy sources by 2010
