The Spanish island of El Hierro in the Canaries in this regard — a real lucky guy, here is the sun and the wind and the waves with the tides. However, while it is planned to use only wind energy. It is planned to reach full energy independence of the island by early 2015.
Until the end of the year, experts are going to put into operation a wind power station at full capacity, to supply electricity she will be 11 000 inhabitants of the island.
The capacity of the station should be 11.5 MW, while the peak energy consumption on the island is not more than 8 MW.
The cost of power amounted to 80 million euros, which investors expect to "recapture" for 20 years.
