# RESTOR Project

> Renewable Energy Storage Planning Model for Islandic Energy Systems

RESTOR is a transnational research and innovation project funded by the European Union and the Clean Energy Transition Partnership. Running from December 2024 to November 2028, the project develops a multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) model to help islands and remote communities plan and implement renewable energy storage systems.

## Pilot Sites
- Aran Islands, Ireland — pop. ~850, PV + storage via EU REACT project, cable dependency challenge
- Gotland, Sweden — pop. ~60,000, ~50% renewables, grid bottleneck challenge
- La Reunion, France — pop. ~870,000, ~36% renewables, targeting energy autonomy by 2030
- Remanso/Xique-Xique, Brazil — pop. ~400, solar microgrid (243 kWp), grid isolation challenge

## Follower Sites
- Lesvos, Greece — pop. ~115,000, halted RES expansion, grid stability challenge
- Fiji — pop. ~925,000, 50-60% renewables, diesel on outer islands challenge
- Fernando de Noronha, Brazil — pop. ~3,167, ~10% renewables, diesel dependency challenge
