The Fair Isle islanders do not use mains electricity because of their remote location and the high cost of connecting to the mainland grid. Instead, they rely on locally generated renewable energy sources like wind turbines and solar panels, along with backup diesel generators for when renewable sources are not sufficient.
Between Orkney and Shetland.
People on Fair Isle, a remote Scottish island, primarily rely on alternative energy sources instead of mains electricity due to its isolated location and limited infrastructure. The island uses a combination of wind, solar, and diesel generators to meet its energy needs, which are more suitable for its small population and environmental conditions. Additionally, the logistical challenges and costs of extending the mains electricity grid to such a remote area make it impractical. As a result, residents have adapted to these alternative systems for their electricity supply.
