The Spanish island of El Hierro (part of the Canary Islands) is planning on becoming completely energy self sufficient in the near future. A new renewable energy project has been launched- that could generate 80% of the island's electricity requirements in the next few years.
The project is comprised s of 5 wind turbines and a hydro electric scheme. The former will generate electricity for the islanders when it is windy, and the latter takes over when there's no wind.
