On June 7-8, 2023, NESOI will take part in the Clean Energy for EU Islands Forum 2023, which will take place in Saaremaa, Estonia. On this occasion, two of our partners, SINLOC and R2M, have been invited to share their expertise on the EU islands world, as we share the ambition to support island communities to enhance their well-being and resilience by assisting them in realizing their transition to clean energy resources.

More specifically, on the first day of the event, our project coordinator, SINLOC, will introduce the session “Funding, financing, and capacity building for Renewable Energy Islands: What to Expect?”, as NESOI has already supported 54 projects with technical, economic-financial, legal, and procedural advisory services. On the second day, R2M will take part in the forum sharing their incredible expertise acquired thanks to the technical assistance directly provided to the islands in the session “Lessons learned from the technical assistance to the islands”.

The Clean Energy for EU Islands Secretariat will choose 30 islands in 2023 that intend to achieve 100% renewable energy by 2030. The third phase of the Secretariat's North Star mission is to achieve entirely renewable energy-powered islands. All the necessary foundation stones will be considered at the CE4EUislands forum in order to realize that goal.
