This session explores the unique challenges and innovative solutions for decarbonising island electricity grids. Islands often rely on imported fossil fuels for energy, leading to high costs and environmental impact. The discussion will cover renewable energy integration, energy storage technologies, microgrid development, and policy frameworks essential for transitioning to sustainable, resilient energy systems. Case studies from various islands will illustrate successful implementations and lessons learned, providing a comprehensive understanding of the path towards carbon-neutral island grids.
