The Clean energy for EU islands secretariat has now published a Technology solutions booklet that provides an overview of energy technologies that are currently commercially available for islands to advance in their clean energy transition. 

The Clean energy for EU islands secretariat focuses on legal and regulatory barriers that EU islands face in energy transition and implementation of clean energy projects.

Kitepower's mobile Airborne Wind Energy System (AWES), the Falcon 100kW, is the very first AWES to be operated in the Caribbean.

The programme has a budget of nearly EUR 1 billion over the period of 2021-2027 and aims at facilitating the transition towards an energy-efficient, renewable energy-based, climate-neutral and -resilient economy by funding coordination and support actions across Europe.

The goal of this project is to unlock the potential of EU islands to become the locomotives of European Energy Transition by mobilising more than 100 M€ of investment in sustainable energy projects to an audience of 2.400 inhabited EU islands and give the opportunity to test innovative energy technologies.
