30 Renewable Islands for 2030 - Ready, Set, 30!

The EU islands' call for applications of interest for 30 renewable islands for 2030 has concluded, and the EU islands secretariat is thrilled to announce the selection of 30 islands and island groups from 10 European countries ready to lead the way towards a sustainable future.

date:  19/12/2023

The mission was clear: to identify and provide technical support to 30 islands and island groups over the next three years, propelling them towards complete energy independence through 100% renewable sources by 2030. The success of these exemplary islands will now become a beacon of guidance for others on their paths to comprehensive decarbonisation. 

The EU Islands secretariat is ready to assist EU islands in devising, preparing, and implementing decarbonisation plans for their energy systems. Intensive assistance will be provided to the 30 pioneering islands and island groups, with active involvement from numerous follower islands.
