European Commission earmarks West Cork island for clean energy strategy

A West Cork island which was a global leader in clean energy over 30 years ago was today selected for a European Commission-backed energy transition initiative to make offshore communities more self-reliant.

Cape Clear, already planning to introduce electric buses this summer, was one of 26 locations - out of the EU's 2,200 inhabited islands - earmarked as torchbearers in the clean energy process.
