This prize will reward achievements in local renewable energy production for electricity, heating, cooling and transport on islands.
The prize name refers to the combination of renewables (RES) and responsibility.
Islands often have high local energy costs, but can benefit from the transition to renewable energy sources in many ways.
These include, among others, creating local jobs and opportunities for sustainable tourism.
There are more than 2000 inhabited islands in the EU. They are ideal test labs to develop innovative energy technologies and can serve as energy transition models for small communities in general.
The prize will be awarded based on:
- the share of renewable energy produced by innovative energy technologies
- environmental and socioeconomic sustainability and impact
- citizen and community involvement
- replicability of the solution
The prize should inspire other islands and off-grid communities to show how small local communities can make the transition to sustainable energy systems.
Prize:
- 1st place: €500,000
- 2nd place: €250,000
- 3rd place: €100,000
Who can apply:
The contest is open to islands located within the territory of an EU country including overseas countries and territories or countries associated to Horizon 2020.
It is open to any legal entity or group of legal entities representing the respective island.
Opening of the contest: 19 March 2019
Deadline for submission of application: 26 September 2019
