Island facts
Visingsö's residents, businesses and visitors consume energy for their households, business premises, agriculture, forestry and fishing as well as for land transport, sea transport, municipal buildings, engineering and other public services (preschool, school and retirement home, water, sewage, street lighting, construction etc.).
After a CETA-survey of energy flows and consumption on Visingsö, we will strive to locally produce renewable energy needed to continue developing a vibrant countryside on Visingsö.
As part of the 30 for 2030 call the following activities are planned:
The Ferries decarbonisation activity includes a technical feasibility study of electric ferries or other sustainable solutions, as well as a study on the connection to the grid and the alternative fuels supply chain. Additionally, there is a financial feasibility study of the identified solutions for ferries decarbonisation. The CETA activity covers the baseline, vision pillars, and stakeholders, and includes exploring storage, transport, and conversion of vehicles. The RES production activity involves a resource assessment, possibly already included in the CETA and very likely focused on biomass, along with a pre-feasibility study. Lastly, the ownership and business models of RES activity involves a study on ownership and business models of identified viable RES solutions.
Please note the island of Visingsö has applied jointly for the 30 for 2030 call with Hven | Clean energy for EU islands (europa.eu), Vinön | Clean energy for EU islands (europa.eu) and Holmön | Clean energy for EU islands (europa.eu).
