エル·イエロ島, nicknamed the “Meridian Island”, has a population of 11,030 inhabitants and an area of 269 km2. It was declared a biosphere reserve in 2000. It is the smallest island of the Canary archipelago and a sustainability model for the whole region. El Hierro is an active member of the World Network of Island and Coastal Biosphere Reserves (Recommended publications).
From the end of 2013 El Hierro will be the first energy-isolated territory in the world able to power itself entirely from renewable energy sources. Photo Gallery.
The wind-hydro pumped storage power plant
The wind-hydro system consists of a wind farm (11,5 MW), two water reservoirs, a pumping unit, hydropower plant, and seawater desalination plant. Photo Gallery, エネルギー貯蔵システムとして動作する. 発電所は、格納されたポテンシャルエネルギーを使用, 電源およびネットワークの安定性を確保する.

The PDMS is a clear commitment for a change in the transportation modes and vehicles aimed at local population and tourists. El Hierro bets on the generalization of electric vehicles and alternative modes of transport, and gives also high priority to public transport or innovative solutions such as transportation on request.
