===Renewable energy sources === The islands have been investing in windpower β in 2010, three 330 kW wind turbines were installed at Sand Bay, about {{convert|10|km|sigfig=1}} from Stanley on the opposite side of the valley from three turbines that were installed in 2007. The island's government has plans to install a 2 MWh [[battery storage]] system which will allow surplus wind energy to be stored.<ref>{{cite news |url = http://www.windpowermonthly.com/search/articles/magazine/WPM,WPO/phrase/Falkland%20Islands/ |title = Falkland Islands β Three new Enercon turbines operating Staff |newspaper = [[Windpower Monthly]] |date = 1 June 2010 |location = London |access-date = 13 June 2010 }}{{Dead link|date=November 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>{{Update needed|date=May 2022}} The first three turbines resulted in a 20% reduction in the Stanley power station's fuel consumption and it was hoped that the second set of three turbines would double this figure. In parallel, there are on-going investigations into other forms of renewable energy for remote locations on the islands.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.falklands.gov.fk/Renewable_Energy.html |title = Renewable Energy |publisher = Falkland Islands Government |access-date = 13 June 2012 |year = 2009 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20120619034553/http://www.falklands.gov.fk/Renewable_Energy.html |archive-date = 19 June 2012 |url-status = dead }}</ref>
