From 14-16 May, more than 120 representatives from EU island communities and other island stakeholders gathered in Stockholm and Mariehamn to exchange experiences on the clean energy transition, discuss transition models and learn about clean energy technologies for islands. 

Islands can now apply for assistance from the Clean Energy for EU Islands Secretariat to advance the development of individual renewable energy and energy efficiency projects in their local community.

Among the 26 islands and archipelagos selected by the European Commission for the Clean Energy for EU Islands Initiative, Menorca was the first to publish its energy transition roadmap earlier this week: the Menorca 2030 Strategy.

On 11 April, the EU-funded Horizon2020 project INSULAE started its activities with a kick-off meeting in Brussels. The project aims to maximise the impact of innovative energy approaches on EU islands, with the ultimate objective to drive decarbonisation and improve life on these islands.
