The Technology Solutions Booklet provides an overview of energy technologies that are currently commercially available to help islands advance in their clean energy transition. Technologies are grouped per sector: electricity, heating and cooling, transport, and storage. Each technology is briefly described with its pros and cons for implementation on islands. Island examples are provided to give practical inspiration and insights into how European islands are adopting these technologies. Additionally, solutions that span multiple sectors such as energy efficiency, community energy action, and smart grids are also included, along with the latest targets and regulations from the European Commission.

Bibliography and links to relevant websites are recommended for further reading throughout the booklet.
