Malvinas promotes electric cars and insulation in homes with incentives
Generous financial assistance for purchasing electric vehicles and other transport
Almost coinciding with the global announcement that electricity production from alternative sources has reached and is on track to surpass that powered by fossil fuels, the Falkland Islands, despite being far from the hustle and bustle and geographically distant, are also contributing their efforts to this transition to green energy.
In fact, the Islands Development Corporation has announced a non-refundable financing scheme for the purchase of electric vehicles for both commercial and ordinary users.
Likewise to improve the thermal efficiency of homes.
In the case of vehicles such as vans, cars and similar for commercial or domestic use, the financial compensation is £5.0, while for bicycles and quadricycles the value is £1,500.
To this end, interested parties are invited to make an appointment to detail the future project, the needs of the enterprise, or in case of further information, contact email, reception@fidc.co.fk, or telephone 27211 or visit online, www.fidc.co.fk
Regarding the improvement of the thermal efficiency of family homes, the non-refundable financing adjusts to the following details:
Up to £5,000, includes general openings, windows and doors, to have double protection, insulation, insulating protection for thermophones, covering of cold water pipes (to prevent freezing), plus weather protection and draft sealing.
It is necessary to make an appointment to discuss the project, as well as any needs that commercial establishments may have or contact reception@fidc.co.fk, telephone 27211 or visit www.fidc.co.fk
Let’s also say that with their wind turbines, the Falkland Islands, and taking advantage of the almost incessant wind, for several years the Islands’ electricity generation, between 45% and 55%, comes from these turbines.
On the international scene during the first half of 2025, electricity generation in the world from alternative sources (wind, sun, tides) continues to grow and increase, while that of fossil origin has stagnated and with a clear tendency to decrease in the total percentage. China, which still responds to a strong fossil generation, has become the region in the world where alternative or green energy sources are advancing the most and with greater intensity.
