Sharjah24 – Reuters: The northern Adriatic island of Krk looks headed towards energy self-sufficiency by the end of the decade in what environmentalists say is an example for the Mediterranean in transition to green and sustainable power.
The Croatian island of Krk is leading the way towards a greener future.
It’s hoping to become energy self-sufficient by the end of the decade. Environmentalists say the island’s transition to sustainable power could set an example for the rest of the Mediterranean.
The island currently produces 10% of its overall target from solar power, but the number of new small solar plants is growing at a pace of around 100 each year.
And financing is not seen as an obstacle – the funds would come from the island's municipal budgets and the European Union, combined with investments by citizens and local firms.
The island’s tourism industry is also behind the shift to green energy.
