Domingo Jimenez Beltrá in his energy self-sufficient and sustainable farm “El Sol”.
Domingo, who has been the first director of the European Environment Agency, bought and restored an old farmhouse with an area of about two hectares and he has transformed it into a small oasis with hundreds of fruit trees, and all thanks to the use of renewable energy.
The house has several photovoltaic panels producing 12.5 kW and also wind turbine with a 6 kW, which is currently under repair. All the energy produced is poured into the network, although Domingo's obsession is never to consume more than it produces. It also has 22 m2 of solar thermal panels for heating and hot water.
