El Hierro (Canaries) : une île et le choix des transitions énergétique et écologique

The island of El Hierro (270 km2 and 8,000 inhabitants) is the most isolated in the Canary archipelago. Since June 2014, El Hierro is getting on its way toward the objective of being self-sustained with 100 % of renewable energy thanks to wind turbines mixed with a wind-powered pumped hydrostorage s...
