Resilient islands, resilient Europe Under the motto "Resilient islands, resilient Europe", the forum will focus on the governance of the decarbonisation of EU islands and on the alignment of all stakeholders for a just energy transition. First-hand testimonies from the transition teams of the 30for2030 islands will provide key insights to empower islands and their communities through the alignment of stakeholders’ views, priorities, and objectives.

While islands are particularly vulnerable to climate change, they enjoy a naturally high potential of renewable energy sources to harness. Many islands have abundant renewable energy potential, which can be tapped to lead decarbonisation. However, access to reliable, clean and competitive sources of energy remains a main concern of island communities in the EU. Although it is often technically and financially possible to develop renewable energy projects on islands, legal and regulatory frameworks, whether EU, national, regional or local, are not always fitfor purpose.

This report describes what mobility as a service is and how Saaremaa could start developing a similar service for its inhabitants.  Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is the concept of offering a wide range of mobility services to customers through one central platform. The reasoning behind this concept is that, by simplifying customers’ experience in using public transport, bike sharing, car sharing or other services, they will be incentivised to use such means of transportation more.

This feasibility study assesses the potential for decarbonising the residential building stock on Cape Clear Island, Ireland, through energy efficiency (EE) and renewable energy (RE) interventions.

This report analyses the PV potential in the administrative territory of the Municipality of Mörbylånga, on the island of Öland. Its results are supposed to support the preparation of a “Solar Energy Development Plan” by the Municipality itself. In particular, the report develops an estimation of the ground-mounted PV potential, in view of the different existing environmental constraints. On top of that, it also gives an overview of the available potential on rooftops.

This study assesses the feasibility and benefits of improving public transport in Saaremaa and Ruhnu, with a focus on sustainable and demand-responsive solutions. The analysis aligns with Estonia’s national public transport reform plans and explores the integration of energy cooperatives to power transportation services. Public transport in Saaremaa and Ruhnu is essential for ensuring mobility, social inclusion, and connectivity, particularly for residents without private vehicles and visitors exploring the islands.

Mathraki, one of the small Diapontia islands in north-west Greece, offers a unique setting to explore how clean energy solutions can be combined with sustainable local economic activity.As part of the broader “30 for 2030” island framework, a small-scale initiative is currently being developed on the island to test a practical, integrated approach linking renewable energy, low-impact mobility, and small-footprint tourism infrastructure.The concept focuses on implementing a pilot at a human scale — demonstrating how solar energy systems, electric mobility, and environmentally conscious visit

This report presents the financial assessment of PV and BESS configurations for the airport site, complementing a previously delivered technical study (January 2025) for the island of Pantelleria. The goal is to determine the most financially viable investment scenarios for various stakeholders, including private investors, the Regulatory Authority, and the Distribution System Operator (DSO). A dedicated financial model assessed each scenario over a 20-year horizon, incorporating CAPEX, OPEX, depreciation, feed-in tariffs, avoided diesel costs, financing conditions, and inflation.

The European Commission has presented a new set of measures to strengthen access to affordable, secure and clean energy for all Europeans, reaffirming its commitment to energy efficiency and citizen-centred solutions.
