New Caledonia: a heart-shaped solar

For decades, the Islands suffered with the energy dependence of the continent, a highly unsustainable, inefficient and expensive. However, renewable energies came not only to give them a new impetus on energy independence â€" and the island of El Hierro, Canary Islands, is the best proof of this new reality â€" how to contribute to a new ecological reality.

The archipelago of New Caledonia is the latest renditioned to renewable, and he's so happy with this option that will build a solar plant in the shape of a heart. The plant will supply power to 750 homes from New Caledonia, helping to reduce carbon emissions and giving a romantic perspective renewables.

The plan was developed by a local drink, the Froico, and is being built by Conergy. The plant will begin producing energy in 2015 and when its life cycle comes to an end, in 2040, will have saved about 2 million tons of carbon emissions.

The central design was inspired by a local forest that will have grown in the shape of a heart, known as Coeur de Voh. "This forest is an important heritage for the people of New Caledonia and shows how extraordinary nature can be" explained managing director of Conergy to The Guardian.
