Fuerteventura’s Renewable Energy Boom: A Green Future for Local Businesses
Harnessing the power of the sun and wind, Fuerteventura’s shift to renewable energy is reshaping its economic landscape.
Fuerteventura is making significant strides in harnessing renewable energy, driven by its abundant natural resources. Plans are in motion to enhance the island’s solar and wind energy infrastructure, aiming for a sustainable future that could decrease reliance on imported fossil fuels. By strategically investing in green technologies, the island is positioning itself as a leader in the renewable energy sector within the Canary Islands, promising long-term economic growth and a cleaner environment.
The impact of this transition extends beyond just energy production; it opens up a plethora of opportunities for local businesses. Entrepreneurs and startups focused on renewable technologies, energy efficiency, and sustainable practices can tap into the growing demand for clean energy solutions. Collaborations between government entities and private businesses are already underway, fostering innovation that could lead to job creation and boosting the island’s economy, especially in sectors like tourism, which increasingly favor sustainable practices.
As Fuerteventura embarks on this ambitious journey towards a greener economy, it sets a compelling precedent for other regions looking to embrace renewable energy. With the right policies and community support, the island is not just protecting its natural beauty but is also paving the way for a vibrant, sustainable business ecosystem that could inspire similar initiatives across the globe.

The third generation of Nissan’s electric vehicle debuts design, more technology and new connectivity possibilities Editorial NoticiasFuerteventura Electric mobility takes a new step forward with the arrival of the new Nissan LEAF, whose third generation can now be seen at Nissan Macher Motor, the brand’s official dealer in Lanzarote and Fuerteventura. The new LEAF represents a profound evolution of one of Nissan’s most recognized electric models. The brand faces this new generation with a proposal focused on autonomy, efficiency, technology and comfort, after more than 28,000 million kilometers traveled in 100% electric vehicles. Up to 623 kilometers of autonomy One of the main arguments of the new Nissan LEAF is its autonomy. The model is available with two battery options: 52 kWh, with up to 445 kilometers of WLTP autonomy, and 75 kWh, with up to 623 kilometers. The fast charging capability also makes it easier to handle long journeys. In the 75 kWh version, the LEAF can recover up to 420 kilometers of range in 30 minutes using a fast charger of at least 150 kW, depending on charging conditions. A particularly relevant characteristic for an island territory like the Canary Islands, where autonomy and ease of use are important factors when considering the transition to electric vehicles. NISSAN MACHER ENGINE A completely renewed design The new LEAF debuts a more aerodynamic and sophisticated exterior image. Nissan has especially worked on aerodynamics to improve the vehicle’s efficiency, with a body with fluid lines, a completely faired floor and different elements designed to optimize the vehicle’s behavior. The new design incorporates, among other elements, flush front door handles, illuminated front Nissan logo, LED rear lighting with 3D holographic effect and alloy wheels up to 19 inches. An interior connected with Google The technological leap is also the protagonist in the cabin. The new LEAF incorporates two 14.3-inch screens and a system integrated with the Google ecosystem, including Google Maps, Google Assistant and Google Play. The route planner with Google Maps allows you to calculate routes taking into account the vehicle’s charging needs, while NissanConnect Services allows you to consult battery information, schedule charging or pre-climate the cabin from your phone. It also offers compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, both wired and wireless. More space and technology for everyday life The new LEAF is committed to a spacious and functional cabin, with capacity for five occupants and a trunk of up to 437 liters, which reaches 1,052 liters with the rear seats folded. Among the equipment options, the panoramic roof with adjustable dimming, wireless charging and BOSE® Premium sound system also stand out, depending on the version. NISSAN MACHER ENGINE An electric vehicle also designed for traveling Beyond urban use, Nissan has developed the new LEAF also thinking about long-distance travel. The vehicle incorporates different driving assistance systems and can equip ProPILOT with Navi-link, which facilitates highway driving by adapting to curves and speed limits. In addition, the intelligent vision camera offers a 360-degree view to facilitate maneuvers, while the Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) technology allows the vehicle to be used as a power source, with a power of up to 3.6 kW using the corresponding adapter. The new LEAF, now at Nissan Macher Motor Drivers from Lanzarote and Fuerteventura who want to get up close and personal with the third generation of the Nissan LEAF can come to Nissan Macher Motor, where they can discover the new model and receive information about its features and different configurations. With this new generation, Nissan reinforces its commitment to electric mobility with a vehicle that combines up to 623 kilometers of autonomy, fast charging, advanced connectivity, driving assistance technology and a completely renewed design. The new Nissan LEAF thus arrives on the islands ready to continue challenging what is established in electric mobility.
