This study performs an overview of the current electricity production for the Island of Lesvos, Greece. With the current trends and transitions towards Renewable Energy Sources, there has been an increase in interest in this topic in the region. This study creates four different scenarios for the generation of electricity with each scenario having an increased amount of RES. The aim of this study is to determine which scenario would be most viable to best implement on the interests of different stakeholders. With the current potential in wind farms due to the wind resource availability, there are large amounts of electricity generated from wind farms in the scenarios.The first scenario is the current scenario of the island. The second scenario has half the total capacity from fossil fuel powerplants with more RES. The third scenario has only RES supplying the island, with the fourth scenario being primarily wind energy with an interconnection with neighboring islands and the mainland. The fourth scenario is the most expensive and hardest scenario to implement. The study applies an MCDA method with the PROMETHEE II tool to rank the different scenarios based on the interests of the stakeholders. This resulted in the fourth scenario being the highest rank for three out of the four stakeholders.
