Lucija Rakocevic from the Clean energy for EU islands secretariat discusses the challenges faced by non-interconnected islands in integrating renewable energy. Over the past year, the secretariat's team has collaborated with system operators, regulators, and governments to identify these challenges through case studies from around the EU.
Key issues highlighted include:
- Outages and curtailment of existing renewables
- Lack of capacity to integrate additional renewables
- Inadequate regulations tailored for islands
This interview provides valuable insights into the efforts to enhance energy security and sustainability for islands and remote areas. It refers to the secretariat's new study shedding light onto challenges facing the electricity systems of EU islands in their transition to renewable energy. The study provides recommendations and best practice examples for achieving the security of supply needed for sustainable economic development.
