"The village of Volintiri is about as remote as you can get in Europe. Set in
the rural southeast of Moldova, one of the poorest and least visited countries
on the continent, it is only a couple of miles away from a little-used border
with Ukraine.
Yet Volintiri, which is surrounded by a countryside filled with fields of
wheat, corn and sunflowers, is in some ways perhaps superior to the great
capitals of Europe such as Berlin, Paris, Rome and Madrid.
This community of about 2,500 people is leading the way for Moldova when it
comes to the movement for reliable, locally produced, independent energy. At a
time of increasing global conflict, it aspires to be a place where the supply
of power does not depend on anything from outside, and stands as proof that
community-based renewable energy systems can help cut emissions and bills,
while engaging citizens in the urgent green energy transition."
