Translating EU renewable energy policy for insular energy systems: Reunion Island's quest for energy autonomy

Abstract: (2017). Translating EU renewable energy policy for insular energy systems: Reunion Island's quest for energy autonomy. Fennia 195: 2, pp. 125-141. ISSN 1798-5617.Recognition of the negative impacts of climate change has led to agreement on the need to decarbonise energy systems through the employment of renewable energy. With many national and transnational policies in place, the options available to insular energy systems (IES) differ from those of interconnected areas due to fragility in their production and… Show more

“…This lack of willingness may stem from issues the local organization has had in establishing the envisioned community due to regulatory barriers in Sweden [ 75 ]. Similar legal barriers exist on La Réunion where the development of solutions, such as energy communities, is impeded by national law that doesn't align with the conditions on the island [ 21 ]. On the other end of the spectrum, Mallorca, with nearly half the initial awareness of Gotland, has since the interviews took place experienced changes its laws which actively support the establishment of energy communities [ 76 , 77 ].…”

“…Gotland is involved in a number of governmentally funded initiatives investigating the energy transition potential of the island [ 12 , 17 ] as well as specific steps for transition like investigation of storage alternatives [ 18 ] and smart grid technologies [ 19 ]. A good deal of consideration has also been given to the potential methods to increase La Réunion's renewable energy sources (RES) utilization [ [20] , [21] , [22] ], including technical paths to achieving energy autonomy [ 23 , 24 ]. Research for the island of Mallorca has largely focused around improving the sustainability of its tourism industry [ [25] , [26] , [27] ].…”
