Renewable Energy
Many tourist camps operating in remote areas generate their own electricity, often with diesel generators. Rising fuel costs, noise and a desire to have a lower environmental footprint have caused many operators to consider renewable energy sources such as wind or solar power. NOTO has prepared a number of articles and other resources to assist operators in making the transition to renewable energy and to help avoid potential pitfalls.
