After three years of collaboration, this high-level event will present TwInSolar’s key outcomes, policy recommendations, and strategic insights to accelerate the deployment of solar energy in EU islands and Outermost Regions. It will highlight how research-driven innovation can strengthen regional resilience and contribute to the EU’s broader climate, energy independence, and affordability goals.
The discussions will address the opportunities and challenges of advancing clean energy in geographically and economically constrained territories. Topics will include solar integration, investments in grids and storage, the role of hydrogen, and the importance of developing local skills and circular approaches to ensure sustainability.
Bringing together EU policymakers, regional leaders, researchers, and energy experts, the conference will explore how islands and Outermost Regions can act as frontrunners in Europe’s clean energy transition. By showcasing practical solutions and research-based strategies, the event will underline how these territories can serve as lighthouses for innovation while advocating for policies that recognise their unique constraints and potential.
