The Clean energy for EU islands secretariat has released an updated version of its Regulatory Inventory, now available on its website. :This updated resource provides a clear and accessible overview of the regulatory frameworks shaping the clean energy transition on EU islands.

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 Clean Energy Transition Agenda (CETA) for Ventotene presents a roadmap to reduce the island’s dependence on fossil fuels and enhance energy resilience. It includes an assessment of current energy consumption and infrastructure, and proposes actions such as deploying solar PV, improving energy efficiency in buildings, and promoting sustainable mobility. The agenda emphasises community participation, local governance, and alignment with national and EU climate objectives. It also identifies funding opportunities and implementation steps tailored to the island’s unique context.

This Technical Assistance Report provides a roadmap for the Croatian island of Žirje to transition toward clean energy and sustainability. It was developed under the EU islands secretariat initiative and includes a detailed assessment of the island’s current energy situation, infrastructure, and socio-economic context. The report identifies key challenges such as outdated energy systems, limited local energy production, and seasonal population fluctuations.

The Clean Energy Transition Agenda (CETA) for the City of Zadar Islands outlines a strategic plan for transitioning eight Croatian islands—Ist, Iž, Molat, Olib, Premuda, Rava, Silba, and Škarda—toward clean energy. Developed by the City of Zadar and regional partners, the document addresses the islands’ geographic, demographic, and economic contexts, identifying key challenges such as limited infrastructure and vulnerability to climate change.

The document outlines a preliminary energy planning initiative for Visingsö as part of the EU Smilegov project. It highlights the island’s unique challenges, such as limited autonomy, lack of detailed energy data, and high transport-related energy use. The report emphasises the importance of including all human activities and natural carbon sinks in the planning process. A local workshop helped identify two main proposals for future energy strategies, marking the beginning of a collaborative, data-driven approach to sustainable energy development on the island.

This SEAP presents Vinön’s commitment to climate action through targeted measures in energy efficiency, renewable energy deployment, and sustainable mobility. It includes a baseline emissions inventory, identifies priority sectors for intervention (such as buildings, transport, and public lighting), and sets out concrete actions to achieve long-term carbon reduction goals. The plan emphasises local stakeholder engagement, integration with regional and EU climate policies, and monitoring mechanisms to track progress.

This Clean Energy Transition Agenda (CETA) for Venø sets out a community-led vision to reduce carbon emissions and enhance energy resilience. It includes an analysis of the island’s current energy consumption and infrastructure, and proposes actions such as expanding solar PV, improving building energy efficiency, and promoting sustainable transport. The agenda emphasises local stakeholder engagement, education, and alignment with national and EU climate goals. It also outlines governance structures and funding opportunities to support the implementation of the transition.
