The German town of Dardesheim will soon be running completely on renewable energy. Most of the town has solar roofs installed as well as some huge wind turbines, like the 6 megawatt turbine, the E112. This turbine produces 12 to 15 million kWH per year!

The 1,000 residents of Dardesheim want to attach tourist who are interested in renewable energy. The town has organized a monthly newsletter, the Dardesheimer Windletter, to inform the population of the latest project progress.

The town does not completely run on wind, there are 9 different solar PV plants that generate about 250,000 kWh or able 1/3 of the Dardsheim’s domestic electricity.
