Applications open for renewable energy islands prize (RESponsible island)
The European Commission has launched the first edition of the RESponsible island prize, which is dedicated to islands with innovative and sustainable local renewable energy production for use in electricity, heating, cooling and transport.
Carlos Moedas, European Commissioner for Research, Science and Innovation, said: "Islands are perfect test labs for the deployment of innovative energy technologies. I hope this new prize will encourage many islands and other small communities to re-think the way they produce and consume energy. Europe needs all communities, big and small, to contribute to the clean energy transition."
Deadline for applications: 26 September 2019
