Abstract:
Late June 2010 Winrock was commissioned by Dutch organization HIVOS to implement a first thorough and in-depth assessment on two islands and screen them against set of criteria in order to determine their respective ‘attractiveness’ as candidates for a ‘fossil fuel independent pilot Island’ Iconic Island’. This report endeavors to answer the basic research question whether or not the islands under scrutiny can become fossil fuel impendent in light of the available and verifiable Renewable Energy sources as found on these islands. Secondly, it aims to reduce the level of complexity by assessing islands against criteria that either inhibit or enable project implementation these include criteria of general logistics and perceived support of local authorities and stakeholders.
