The expression takes all its sense in this situation since El Hierro, the smallest of the canary islands of the archipelago, should become in 2009, the first island solely powered by renewable energies.



This project associates this Spanish electricity company Endesa and the Spanish Institute for diversification and energy economy represents an investment of 54 billion euros. Some of the 8 000 inhabitants already complain that the prices rose, and that their life style became more complicated.
As a matter of fact, the electricity supply network will be supplied from a hydroelectric power station, while wind will feed the pumping system, a system of energy economy has been introduced, in order not to use the conventional station that will remain in place as a good angel.
This network should save 18 700 tones of Carbon Dioxide per year.

This tiny island that built its touristic reputation on its loneliness and calm, many business man would go their to relax, is going to keep its airport and multiple renting car agencies. Now, tourists will come to try this new life style, what a wonderful commercial operation…

Studies are doe to introduce such networks in Madera and Crete.
