Sustainable Islands International

Scottish companies are at the forefront of delivering innovative energy solutions to our islands.

And, with around 2000 islands with populations between 1000 and 10,000 people worldwide, the skills developed in Scotland are in demand in international markets.

Our Sustainable Islands International programme can help Scottish companies find opportunities to develop their innovations for islands and remote communities around the world.

Solutions to the specific energy challenges faced by the communities can include:

• Smart Grid
• Domestic heat and electricity storage
• Low carbon transport

• Domestic heating

We're building partnerships with different funders of sustainable energy projects to highlight the capabilities and experience of companies in Scotland.
