Atualmente, this concerns projects on all inhabited islands, in particular a 700 kW photovoltaic (PV) generator at Isabella (grid-connected), um 20 kW PV generator with battery storage and the conversion of the existing diesel power plant to Jatropha oil in Floreana and a wind park in three phases with up to 30 MW in- stalled power at Santa Cruz/Baltra.

Em 2006, the government of Ecuador has started the initiative “Cero Combustibles Fósiles en Galápagos” planning to phase out the consumption of fossil fuels at the Galápagos Islands by the year 2015.
