El Hierro Energy Self-Sufficiency Project
Sector: Solar • Location: Canary Islands, Spain
Source: The Cool Down
El Hierro, a small Canary Island, is on track to become the first island to achieve complete energy self-sufficiency by harnessing its natural wind and water resources. The island has already reached 100% self-sufficiency in electricity for nearly 25 days and aims for complete decarbonization within 15 years, with a new solar power plant planned to enhance its green energy capacity.
