WHAT IS THE PROJECT ABOUT?
- Building on best practices, the project will involve citizens and stakeholders from Île aux Moines (FR), Inishbofin (IE), Nagu archipelago (FI), Fur and Venø (DK) and Ulva (UK) in a participatory process to build a vision and get involved in the energy transition.
- It will also support energy audits which will put that vision into practice in the form of a Clean Energy Transition Agenda (CETA).
- It will include a pre-feasibility study for: forming renewable or citizens energy communities in sustainable mobility (Île aux Moines, Ulva); wave energy (Inishbofin); biogas and soil/sea heating for households (Nagu); cooperatives for electricity production and storage (Fur, Venø).
- Small islands often do not have enough resources and expertise to dedicate to the energy transition. This collective initiative enables 6 small islands to work in parallel but also together on innovative solutions for their local contexts
HOW WILL THE EU ISLANDS FACILICY NESOI SUPPORT THE PROJECT?
- Identification of the island dynamics for Île aux Moines, Inishbofin, Nagu, Fur and Venø
- Development of Island Transition Paths for Île aux Moines, Inishbofin, Nagu, Fur and Venø
- Action plan and monitoring system, allocation of responsibilities for its implementation
- Preliminary analysis for selected projects on each island (renewable energy sources, sustainable mobility, cooperative energy schemes, use of organic materials for energy production)
