30 for 2030

The island is one of seven that form the Tuscan Archipelago, lying within the Arcipelago Toscano National Park. Giglio means "lily" in Italian, and though the name would appear consistent with the insignia of Medici Florence, it originally derives from the Latin name of the island, Igilium.The island is separated by a 16 km (10 mi) stretch of sea from the nearest point of the mainland, the promontory of Monte Argentario. Mainly mountainous, it consists almost entirely of granite, culminating in the Poggio della Pagana, which rises to 496 m (1,627 ft).

According to the DSO, in 2022, renewable electricity generation on Ruhnu accounted for 108% of the total consumption, with the small island annually consuming 450 MWh.

Transfers to and from Estonian islands rely on fossil fuels. Current projects explore the possibility of hydrogen or electric-driven ferries and buses operating on green fuels. However, the slow deployment of electric vehicles is due to their high cost, and the number of charging points remains limited. CO₂ emissions on the islands also stem from industry and agriculture. In Estonia, specific support systems for renewable energy or energy efficiency on islands are lacking, as are island-specific permitting procedures.

Lying 12km off north Donegal, Toraigh (Tory Island) is the most remote of Ireland’s inhabited islands, with enduring local traditions, unique historical sites and rare bird life. Tory Island has 105 houses. 55 of which are occupied all year round and the remaining 50 are holiday homes, which are used on average about six months of the year. Toraigh aims to achieve sustainability and energy conservation as a result of our participation in the 30 for 2023 call by the Clean energy for EU islands secretariat.

At 4.5 km², Vinön is the largest island in Hjälmaren in the east of Närke in Sweden and part of the east-west oriented archipelago that separates southern Hjälmaren from Storhjälmaren. Vinön is located in Lännäs in the municipality of Örebro. The island has around 100 inhabitants in the two villages of Norra and Södra Vinön.

Bonaire, a Caribbean island grappling with distinctive energy challenges stemming from its geography, population growth, and socio-economic disparities, has exhibited notable progress in transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources. Despite heavily relying on non-renewable energy, Bonaire is committed to enhancing sustainability. This proposal introduces Technical Assistance for an action plan that builds upon the Sustainable Energy Roadmap.

Saba has continued to transition its fossil fuel electricity production to more renewable energy production since 2018. The island currently has 36-40% of solar PV energy and Battery in its energy production mix. Saba has proposed an expansion of its renewable energy production and penetration to 90% by 2025.

Holmön has an electrical power supply by cables from the mainland. Holmön has no fuel supply station on the island. It is up to the inhabitants to transport fuel from the mainland, either with ferry or by boat.

Based on 2022 data, the annual power demand of Astypalea amounts to about 7GWh. Currently, only about 8% of the demand is covered by RES (solar energy) with the main load being served by diesel units.

Inishbofin has prepared an Energy Transition Plan in 2022 and the support from CE4EUI will help to put this plan into action regarding renewable energy.
