Unleashing the Potential of Renewable Energy in the Canary Islands
As the global call for sustainable practices grows, Fuerteventura and its neighboring Canary Islands are taking significant steps to harness renewable energy, presenting substantial opportunities for local businesses and entrepreneurs.
The advance toward energy independence is becoming a focal point for economic development in the region. With abundant natural resources such as wind and solar power, the Canary Islands are strategically positioned to lead Europe in renewable energy initiatives. Investments in these sectors not only create new jobs but also inspire a shift in the local economy, reducing reliance on imported fossil fuels and promoting energy self-sufficiency. Entrepreneurs have a unique chance to tap into this emerging market, fostering innovation and sustainable practices that align with global sustainability trends.
Moreover, the Canary Islands are making strides to attract international investments by enhancing regulatory frameworks and incentivizing businesses committed to green energy. These measures not only boost economic growth but also elevate the islands’ reputation as a green destination. As local governments embrace this transformative vision, partnerships among startups, established companies, and public institutions are essential. Collaborations will pave the way for pioneering technologies and solutions that not only improve energy efficiency but also support environmental conservation efforts across the archipelago.
As Fuerteventura navigates this transition toward a renewable energy future, the potential for business growth is immense. By positioning themselves at the forefront of this green revolution, local entrepreneurs can contribute to a sustainable economic model that benefits both the community and the planet.

For the third consecutive year, these distinctions have been awarded, highlighting the role of these restaurants as economic and tourism drivers in the Canary Islands. Editorial NoticiasFuerteventura Royal Bliss, the range of premium mixers, has begun to deliver the ‘Recommended Restaurants’ plates in the MICHELIN Guide Spain 2025 to 28 establishments in the Canary Islands. With this initiative, in which it collaborates for the third consecutive year, it wants to show its support for the region’s haute cuisine. By province, fourteen establishments in Tenerife and fourteen in Las Palmas have obtained the recognition of ‘Recommended Restaurants’ in this year’s MICHELIN Guide Spain, joining another 724 that have received this plaque, from different parts of Spain. It is a plaque that constitutes a symbol that identifies restaurants and recognizes quality cuisine and service. In addition, it is a platform for recognition of the importance of these restaurants in their respective cities and municipalities, where they play a key role both from an economic and social point of view. Royal Bliss has once again joined this initiative by sponsoring the plaques, to highlight their importance as dynamic agents of the local economy and tourism. The presentation of the plaques represents an opportunity to highlight the impact these restaurants have in their communities. By recognizing their work, we seek to promote the growth of these establishments, thus promoting both local economic development and job creation and the promotion of consumption. In this regard, Miguel Pereda, Commercial and Marketing Director of the MICHELIN Guide in Spain and Portugal, congratulated “all the restaurants that are part of this selection and especially the new additions, highlighting their excellent culinary talent and their important implementation in Spain, with the largest territorial coverage of the Guide representing more than 60% of the selection, with a total of 752 establishments in 2025.” Likewise, he declared that “it is a pride for the MICHELIN Guide to have a partner like Royal Bliss, committed to gastronomy and supporting, for three years now, this plate delivery event, making it possible for this tangible badge to appear on the façade of all the Recommended restaurants in our country.” For his part, Rubén Casado, Business Development Director of Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP), explained that “encouraging consumption in establishments is crucial, especially in those that, every day, demonstrate a passion for gastronomy and maintain high quality standards. MICHELIN plate restaurants are a reflection of the effort and dedication of chefs and teams who work tirelessly to create unique experiences, which not only benefit the sector, but also economically boost and enrich culturally their regions. Supporting them contributes to economic growth and the promotion of a gastronomic culture of excellence in the Canary Islands”. Royal Bliss has collaborated for the last eight years with the MICHELIN Guide Presentation Gala, the last edition of which was held last November in Murcia. At this event, which has become a reference in the world of haute cuisine, MICHELIN Star distinctions were awarded to restaurants in Spain and Portugal.
