Islands that are non-interconnected to the mainland (or to larger grids on other islands) face specific challenges for their decarbonisation that often limit the development of clean energy projects. Intermittency of renewable energies and seasonality due to tourism mean an additional level of complexity when planning and working towards islands independency from fossil fuels. However, the solutions and lessons-learnt from non-interconnected islands are relevant for islands connected to the mainland or (in current times) even to the mainland, with the urge to be independent from fossil fuels as fast as possible.
