Spain Brings Renewable Energy to State-Owned Paradores

Many of Spain’s Paradores a chain of state-owned, luxury hotels are ancient castles and monasteries that have been around for, well, forever. But the country is embracing the future by introducing renewable energy at all 97 locations. The country announced that, beginning on the first of January, the Paradores will only get their electricity from renewable sources as part of a deal they signed with Endesa, a Spanish utility company. The chain of hotels which has been operating for 90 years is hoping to inspire other companies around the country, and be a leader in climate action as a state-owned operation.
