Chalki.Lab
A real-world lab for sustainable island development.
Turning Chalki into a real-world model for resilient, energy-efficient, and future-ready island communities.
From energy transition to integrated model
Chalki has already demonstrated what a small island can achieve — transitioning to clean energy and implementing solutions that improve everyday life.
Chalki.Lab builds on that foundation. It brings structure, coordination, and long-term direction to the island’s development — moving from individual projects to a unified model.
Developed in collaboration with the Municipality of Chalki, the lab operates as a real environment where solutions are tested, implemented, and scaled with the needs of the local community at the center.
This work is evolving into a 10-year sustainability masterplan — connecting energy, mobility, services, and the local economy into one integrated system.
Deployed on the island
Real projects already implemented in Chalki — forming the foundation for long-term transformation.
-
Solar Energy Infrastructure
A 1 MW photovoltaic system combined with battery storage delivers 100% clean energy for municipal operations and local energy needs, reducing electricity costs by over 90%.
-
Electric Mobility & Charging Infrastructure
Deployment of over 15 electric vehicles across land and sea, supported by a network of 7 EV charging stations and an operational electric passenger boat — enabling low-emission mobility across the island.
-
Smart Water & Digital Systems
Implementation of smart water management and desalination monitoring systems, alongside digital governance tools and real-time infrastructure management.
-
Chalki Sustainability Masterplan
Design and rollout of a 10-year integrated strategy connecting infrastructure, services, and local economy into a unified development model.
