30 for 2030

The islands’ electricity use is 16.5 GWh. Still, the demand is growing fast (2% per year) and depends on investments in new grand resorts on the island, such as the envisaged Golden Rock Resort, with an expected installed 700kWp solar park with battery storage/BESS. Statia Utility Company (STUCO) supplies electricity and drinking water. The energy system is transitioning to renewables. Until 2016, power was solely diesel-generated. In March 2016, the inaugural phase of a solar park with a 1.89 MWp capacity began, catering to 23% of the total power needed.

Sherkin Island, Ireland, is located southwest of County Cork - together with the islands of Roaringwater Bay. The island is interconnected to the neighbouring island of Cape Clear.

São Jorge is located in the Azores archipelago. Situated between Pico and Faial islands, it is separated by the 15-kilometre Pico-São Jorge Channel. Referred to as part of the Triângulo group, São Jorge is a relatively long and narrow island with towering cliffs. Home to 8,373 inhabitants, the population is concentrated in geological debris fields (fajãs) along the north and south coasts.

Pico is the second largest island of the Azores. The energy demand in Pico was 48 GWh on each island (2022). The peak of these systems reached 8.3 MW and 9.2 MW, respectively (2022). Pico has renewable energy sources (RES) production plants like wind farms. RES penetration on Pico was 10% and 11.5% in the energy mix (2022).The aim is to prepare the islands of Faial, Pico and São Jorge for the impact on the electricity system resulting from charging the new electric passenger and vehicle ferries project.

The energy demand of Faial was at 48 GWh in 2022. The peak of these systems reached 8.3 MW and 9.2 MW, respectively (2022). Both islands have renewable energy sources (RES) production plants. RES penetration on Faial was 10% and 11.5%, respectively, in the energy mix (2022). In Faial, there is a hydro plant and a wind farm. The aim is to prepare the islands of Faial, Pico and São Jorge for the impact on the electricity system resulting from charging the new electric passenger and vehicle ferries project.

Giannutri is a small Italian island located in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the coast of Tuscany. It is the southernmost island of this archipelago. The island and its nearby marine areas fall under the Arcipelago Toscano National Park and marine sanctuary. Predominantly privately owned, certain sections belong to Italy’s Ministry of the Environment, participating in the Coastal Area Management Programme authorized by the Ministry.Assessing renewable energy is a fundamental step towards the energy transition, as the island is heavily dependent on fossil fuels.

Visingsö's residents, businesses and visitors consume energy for their households, business premises, agriculture, forestry and fishing as well as for land transport, sea transport, municipal buildings, engineering and other public services (preschool, school and retirement home, water, sewage, street lighting, construction etc.).After a CETA-survey of energy flows and consumption on Visingsö, we will strive to locally produce renewable energy needed to continue developing a vibrant countryside on Visingsö.Please note the island of Visingsö has applied jointly for the 30 for 2030 call

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. Ruhnu's electricity supply relies on a combination of solar panels (200 kW), a wind turbine (50 kW), a battery bank (180 kW/220 kWh), and a biodiesel generator (160 kW), all managed by smart automation. The situation for the 30 for 2030 call mirrors that of Saaremaa and both islands have applied in a joined application Saaremaa | Clean energy for EU islands (europa.eu)

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.
