The video features Danijel Brnic, Franjo Toic, and Bosko Baic discussing their involvement in energy transition projects on Croatian islands. They discuss initiatives such as installing solar panels on buildings and exploring sustainable energy options. They address challenges like selling surplus energy and planning to utilize batteries for storage. The speakers express optimism about finding solutions and share their plans for further sustainable energy integration.

This webinar provided guidance on how to produce short videos to promote your island: explain how it embraces renewable energy and energy efficiency, how the transition to clean energy is creating jobs and economic growth, and how the EU can help your island’s clean energy transition.The submitted videos were assessed by the secretariat and a selection made for the presentation during the EU island forum on 20 & 21 May 2021.

Join Anne-Grethe, Finn and Jan from Fejø, Denmark, as they share their excitement about their island community's journey towards renewable energy in this video. The Fejø team is part of the Clean energy for EU islands secretariat's call for 30 renewable islands by 2030. Despite their collaborative efforts, the island's current windmills, including a 75 KW one, fall short of meeting electricity demand. Nonetheless, the team remains hopeful that this transition project will unify the community and unlock the potential for additional green energy sources.

In this video, Mayor of Carloforte on San Pietro Island in Italy, Stefano Rombi, speaks about the support by the Clean energy for EU islands secretariat for tackling energy poverty and embracing renewable energy within the framework of the 30 for 2030 call.
