Report (2014): “Samso [Denmark], the first island in the world to be completely powered by renewable energy… it was clear that the success of the island project was based on its bottom up approach. Nine of the 11 onshore wind turbines were bought by farmers, and the remaining two bought by more than 500 people who live on the island or have summer homes there. Each 1 megawatt wind turbine powers approximately 630 homes” (Stefanie Spear, “Samso: World’s first 100% renewable energy-powered island is a beacon for sustainable communities”, EcoWatch, 1 May 2014: http://ecowatch.com/2014/05/01/samso-renewable-energy-island-sustainable-communities/ ).
