Small and remote islands face various challenges in energy supply and demand.

Their isolation from the mainland often increases their dependence on imported fossil fuels, leading to high costs and energy security risks. In 2021, island nations had the world's most expensive electricity costs, negatively affecting socioeconomic development.

As a solution to this, islands should establish resilient energy infrastructures against rising temperatures and natural disasters.

Existing old energy systems are inadequate to meet the increasing electricity demand, often causing frequent outages.

The spread of clean energy technologies and renewable energy can make island energy systems more secure and sustainable.

Distributed energy resources, microgrids, and battery storage systems can facilitate the integration of renewable energy.

Digitalization and energy efficiency measures can help reduce energy costs and accelerate decarbonization processes on the islands.

International cooperation will play a critical role in accelerating clean energy transitions in this regard.
