The ROBINSON project (smart integRation Of local energy sources and innovative storage for flexiBle, secure and cost-efficIent eNergy Supply ON industrialized islands) is a EU-funded project.This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement N° 957752.
ROBINSON aims to develop an integrated energy system to help decarbonise (industrialised) islands.
LocalRES is an EU-funded project that will deploy innovative local energy systems to put renewable energy into the hands of communities and people. The project will boost structural changes in the current energy system at different levels: generation, market, distribution and consumers.
FLASC is developing a Hydro-Pneumatic Energy Storage (HPES) system tailored for offshore applications. The objective is to bridge the gap between intermittent renewable energy production and a fluctuating consumer demand. This allows, for example, large offshore wind farms to improve the quality of the power that they provide to consumer grids, and also to supply reliable power to island grids and remote offshore locations, such as oil & gas infrastructure.
Carbery Housing Association is a community based social housing developer and provider, approved by the Department of Housing. CHA purchases and leases properties to provide long term housing for rent for families who cannot afford to rent of buy on the open market. We secure local authority support and loan funding to develop these initiatives. We at present have 20 properties which are being rented to families nominated by the local Councils.

ACIF-CCIM is a private and non-profit multisectoral business association and also the Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Madeira, founded in 1836.It has about 800 members mostly SME.
Due to the current health and travel situation, this year's edition of the Clean Energy for EU Islands Forum will be held online.
The programme will focus on creating stronger links between the EU institutions and the local actions on the island. Representatives from different institutions will introduce their role in creating the enabling framework for the decarbonisation of EU islands, and island communities will present and discuss their activities with peers and EU representatives.
