Fuerteventura Targets Green Growth: The Push for Renewable Energy
The island’s commitment to sustainability is paving the way for innovative business opportunities.
Fuerteventura is making significant strides towards its renewable energy goals, with initiatives that promise to transform the local economic landscape. The island aims to produce 50% of its energy from renewable sources by 2030—a target that not only supports environmental sustainability but also fosters a burgeoning market for green technologies. This ambitious plan opens the door for startups and established businesses alike to explore various avenues in clean energy, from solar and wind to bioenergy.
Local authorities have implemented incentives to attract investments in renewable projects, stimulating job creation in sectors that will redefine the island’s economy. Entrepreneurs focused on the green sector are particularly encouraged, as the government recognizes the dual benefit of supporting sustainable solutions while also driving economic development. Companies that embrace these innovations could find themselves at the forefront of a significant industry evolution, positioning Fuerteventura as a model for other regions seeking similar transformations.
As the island integrates more sustainable practices, it also seeks to educate and involve the community in this shift. By fostering awareness and involvement, residents can contribute to—and benefit from—this eco-friendly revolution. Those willing to invest in sustainability now will likely reap not only regional benefits but also a stronger competitive edge in the future.

June 30, 2026, 18:03 The Cabildo of Fuerteventura, through the Ministry of Transport, readjusts the operations of bus line 3 Express by increasing frequencies at the Playa Blanca and El Matorral stops. This readjustment is motivated by the cancellation of urban line 1 that was recently announced by the Transportation Department of the Puerto del Rosario City Council. In this way, express line 3 will make two more stops, not initially planned on this line: one in Playa Blanca and another in El Matorral, to resolve the deficit produced by the elimination of the municipal line, mainly in Playa Blanca. The Minister of Transport, Luis González, explains that “after the request by the mayor of Puerto del Rosario, the island service assumes both stops also from line 3 Express, which allows to continue increasing frequencies in the two main population centers of this route.” Line 3 The new Express Bus Line 3 began operating on June 8, with a faster and more efficient route between Puerto del Rosario and Caleta de Fuste, reducing travel times on one of the most used and congested routes in Fuerteventura. The launch of this new service represents another step in the work carried out by the Cabildo de Fuerteventura, through the Ministry of Transport and Mobility, to improve island public transport and respond to some of the main demands expressed by citizens. This line is operated by three high-performance electric buses, acquired with European Next Generation funds.
