Culatra was one of the six pilot islands during the Clean energy for EU islands pilot phase. In cooperation with Culatra's transition team - including representatives of Algarve University and the NGO Make it better - the Secretariat organised a 2-day workshop covering relevant topics such as electricity generation, storage and distribution, maritime transport, water supply and treatment, waste management and energy efficiency.

This webinar introduced creative ways to use technologies and different transport models for reducing islands' carbon footprint!

Islands across the EU have been pioneering the energy transition for more than 20 years, and are today providing an impressive range of inspiring projects for other islands as well as for mainland communities. The Clean Energy for EU Islands Secretariat has selected a number of inspiring examples for island communities to learn from.

With this leaflet, the Clean Energy for EU Islands Secretariat aims to provide information to help islands find the right financing resources for their clean energy transition.

In this webinar, community engagement experts shared their experiences, and provided inspiration for other island and mainland communities to advance their own transition.

The NGO Small Islands Organisation (SMILO) supports small islands of less than 150km² towards the sustainable management of their territory and resources. It bolsters integrated operations for the preservation of islands’ natural resources, in relation to water and sanitation, waste, energy, biodiversity, landscapes and heritage issues. The Sustainable Island label rewards the positive local dynamics and sustainable practices. Currently, 18 islands are involved in the labelling process.

GEPS Techno has developed a hybrid renewable energy platform called WAVEGEM. It's autonomous and unmmaned for offshore and nearshore activities, replacing diesel generators in isolated places, where the access to electrical power is limited and off-grid.
