Wind turbines beneath An Sgurr,Eigg,UK
The Isle of Eigg off Scotland's west coast,shows the way forward to a renewable future. in 1997 the island was purchased from its feudal landlord by the Eigg Heritage Trust,a partnership between the islanders,the Highland Council and the Scottish Wildlife Trust. At that point the electricity was provided by each house having a noisy,polluting and expensive diesel generator,as the island is not connected to the grid. In 2008 the islanders decided to turn to a green solution. Eigg Electric was set up and developed a grid for the island with the energy produced by 3 hydro schemes,one 100 Kw and two 5-6 Kw,four wind turbines producing 24 Kw and 2 arrays of solar panels producing 10Kw,a total of 144 Kw. This is enough to power the homes of the 90 residents
