We're Renewable!

We just signed up to have our electricity supplied 100% by renewable sources - thanks to the lovely people at the Som Energia cooperative.

The process was easy, quick and cheap. Just €100 to join the cooperative as a member, and then a simple form to complete.

I had considered installing solar voltaic panels at the Croft, but the cost of the panels and the converter, with enough power to run a large house and our three water pumps (well, irrigation and recycled water), was prohibitive. Som Energia supplies certified renewable energy mainly from wind power.

One more step toward a lower-carbon footprint...
