Join our Clean energy for EU islands team for an immersive workshop focused on "Effective Communication and Capacity Building Strategies on Energy and Sustainability". This workshop is part of our ongoing series of capacity-building initiatives to support the 30 for 2030 islands and island groups in their transition to renewable energy and energy efficiency projects.
The main focus of this report is on mapping the planning and further implementation of the advanced electricity metering infrastructure on the BES islands, which is the basis for the implementation of the smart electricity system. This report represents the result of the first support activity focusing on smart electricity systems and will be followed by a roadmap for the implementation of optimal solutions. This report is split into four parts.
The Balearic Islands, specifically Mallorca, Menorca, and Ibiza, are participating in the Clean Energy for EU Islands' 30 Renewable Energy Islands for 2030 initiative. The technical assistance for the Balearic Islands, from 2023 until 2026, will be structured in 4 activities and will proceed in close cooperation with the Balearic transition team.
This report is a technological study of the decarbonisation of transport to satisfy the mobility needs of local stakeholders in Saaremaa and Ruhnu. The scope of the study covers road and maritime transport and does not address aviation. Saaremaa (and Ruhnu) 's general goal is to reduce the number of vehicles, stop using fossil fuel-based technologies, and save money on transportation. The identified solution must be the most economically reasonable for the islands.
The Clean energy for EU islands secretariat is delighted to unveil the outcomes of the recent Follower Islands call, a significant step in supporting European islands on their journey to decarbonisation.
One of the major barriers for islands to achieve complete energy independence through 100% renewable sources is the financing of transformative and impactful energy efficiency and renewable energy projects.Join us for our webinar, on the “Islands Marketplace.” This event is designed to bring together island communities, project developers, technology providers, investors, and financiers to support the implementing of clean energy projects on islands.What to Expect:Expand Your Knowledge: Enhance your knowledge on financing your energy transition projects.Explore different Tools: Learn
The Interdisciplinary Laboratory on Climate Change (LINCC-UIB), the regional partner of the Clean energy for EU islands secretariat in Spain and coordinator of island actions in the country, has been awarded the Gold Medal of the City of Palma 2024. The LINCC-UIB was created in 2017 to advance climate change research and develop prevention strategies.
Within the technical assistance provided to the 30 for 2030 islands and islands groups, special attention is paid to providing the local teams with tools and knowledge to support their development of RE and EE projects.With this objective, the Clean energy for EU islands secretariat is organizing 20 workshops over three years to promote capacity building on relevant topics.The workshops are held in person on selected islands and involve representatives from the island transition teams of various interested islands.
Photography by Mark Zagers from Saba Electric Company, the winner of the sixth photography competition organised in 2024 by the Cleanenergy for the EU islands secretariat.The photograph shows Saba's Solar Park's Phases 1 and 2, which allow 34% of the entire island of Saba’s energy demand to be produced from clean energy. During optimal conditions, the island can run entirely on clean energy during daylight hours.
