Valorisation and Impact

RESTOR aims to deliver scientific and operational results that improve energy planning in island territories and support decision-making regarding investments in energy storage technologies.

The main expected outcomes include:

• A multi-criteria planning tool: development of a decision-support model to compare storage solutions based on technical, economic, environmental, and social performance.
• Improved knowledge of island energy systems: consolidation and analysis of meteorological data, electricity generation data, and grid infrastructure information.
• Prospective energy scenarios: assessment of energy transition pathways for 2030-2050, considering different renewable energy penetration levels and storage strategies.
• An international comparative analysis: comparison of the five pilot case studies to identify storage solutions adapted to the characteristics of the territories studied.
• Scientific publications and dissemination: communication of project findings through technical reports, scientific articles, and presentations at international conferences and events.
• Territorial and socio-economic benefits: provision of decision-support information for local authorities, grid operators, and energy stakeholders to guide investments towards suitable energy storage solutions.

On Reunion Island, the project results will contribute to discussions on energy storage strategies, electricity supply security, and renewable energy development, supporting the territory’s energy autonomy ambitions for 2030.

The project also includes stakeholder engagement and knowledge dissemination activities through workshops, project monitoring meetings, and exchanges with local institutional and energy stakeholders.
