  • Quebrada de Humahuaca, Tilcara. Armando Alvarez of Cultura Pirca ONG, a organisation promoting the development of Andean Qolla indians communities. In many villages in the Argentinian Altiplano Cultura Pirca has installed an 8-square-meter Scheffler reflector which are used as a public installation for baking bread saving precious firewood.       The heating equipment consists of  concentrating  reflectors that  move to track the movement of the sun. In rural areas institutions depending on oil, gas and electricity are trying to switch to renewable energies. <br />
Reasons for this change are the high costs of  conventional fuel and the unreliability of the electric grid. Photovoltaic is often too expensive and used for small applications.

  • Guaranì Indian community of Guavirà-Poty near San Pedro. Cornelio, cacique (the community's leader) with his son. In the back a solar panel. Many communities look for alternative energies due to the lack and costs of electricity. There are almost 90 Mbya Guarani communities in the province of Misiones. The guaranì, one of the most important tribal groups of South America, are best known for their connection to the early Jesuit missions (1609-1767). For the Guarani, land is the origin of all life, but invasions by ranchers have devastated their territory and nearly all of their land has been stolen.

  • El Hierro, According to the Ministry for Industry, El Hierro will become the first island in the world to be energy self-sufficient. This will be achieved through a  project combining a greater than 11 megawatt wind farm and two hydroelectric projects. The project, created by the local Gorona del Viento El Hierro consortium, will producing 11.5 megawatts of wind power to supply electricity for approximately 11,000 residents and three water desalination facilities. The hybrid wind/pumped hydro storage system will store surplus wind power by pumping water up 700 meters  to fill the crater of an extinct volcano. When winds are calm or when demand exceeds supply, water will be released from the crater to generate 11.3 MW of electricity, filling an artificial basin created at the bottom of the extinct volcano. Water in the lower basin is then pumped back up again to the upper reservoir when there is excess wind power. Nicknamed Isla del Meridiano (the "Meridian Island"), is the smallest and farthest south and west of the Canary islands.
