The Energy Development in Island Nations (EDIN) initiative is a global partnership working to advance clean energy transformation in island communities through collaboration, innovation, and sustainable development strategies.
EDIN’s mission is to empower island nations around the world to adopt modern energy efficiency practices and accelerate the deployment of renewable energy technologies. By fostering collaboration among governments, private industry, non-profits, and academia, EDIN aims to reduce dependence on imported fossil fuels and create resilient, self-sustaining energy systems for island communities.
EDIN invites stakeholders from around the globe to participate in this pioneering effort. Whether you're a policymaker, clean energy investor, technology provider, or community advocate, there are numerous ways to engage with our work and contribute to energy progress on island territories.
EDIN partners provide critical support for clean energy initiatives by helping island projects navigate technical, financial, and policy challenges. Through targeted guidance and shared expertise, we enable local leaders to access the tools they need to transition to renewable energy and implement lasting energy efficiency measures.
EDIN carefully evaluates potential projects and participants based on strategic value, scalability, and community impact. Selected participants receive comprehensive assistance that includes energy policy development, access to advanced technologies, and support in securing financing mechanisms suitable for island-scale deployments.
We are committed to sharing knowledge. EDIN offers a library of open-access resources—including case studies, technical toolkits, policy frameworks, and data portals—to support energy planning and deployment in island contexts. Our goal is to ensure that every island community has access to the information and support it needs to pursue a cleaner energy future.
