Galway Bay fm newsroom – The Aran Islands has been chosen by the European Commission for a clean energy initiative.
Along with Cape Clear in Cork, the Aran Islands must now develop a plan to become self-reliant by harnessing wind, solar power and sea waves.
24 other islands across Europe with more than 2 thousand residents have also been selected for the initiative.
Grace Bolton from the European Commission office in Ireland says the project will reduce energy costs on the Aran Islands.
