In January 2011 Som Energia started to apply for the necessary permits and soon after entered the market as a non-profit cooperative committed to producing 100% renewable energy from hydroelectric, solar, biomass and wind power.

It could also reduce our greenhouse gas emissions to very low levels, comparable to the emissions before the industrial revolution.
Last week the Western Slope Colorado witnessed a huge victory for energy freedom and rural renewable power.
