PACIFIC PARADISE: Situated 1000 kilometers from mainland Ecuador, the Galápagos archipelago is home to more than 20 000 people, and an additional 120 000 visit annually. The growing human activity has placed an enormous burden on the islands’ power grid, which until recently relied entirely on diesel generators.

For more on Galápagos, see Wind Power in Paradise
