Fuerteventura has long been known as a source of natural beauty, but now it will be helping give something back to Mother Earth through green energy production.
It is very a la mode at the moment for countries to talk about using natural resources to generate power, but engineers have placed the island at the forefront of technology by going through with one of these admirable projects.
Work on a new windfarm in
Corralejo should be completed this month and the turbines will begin to turn by the end of the year, according to Sunny Fuerteventura.
Mario Cabrera, president of the island's Cabildo, told the website: "This windfarm will generate profits that will help optimise production costs and maintain the policy assumed by the Water Supply Consortium to Fuerteventura and the council not to increase water rates."
The windfarm is being built at a desalination plant but could end up producing almost double the amount of energy needed by the building.
This year, Unesco made the island a biosphere reserve partly because of its focus on investment in renewable energy.
