Before this was developed, the island relied on expensive hydroelectric plants (80% supply) and seven diesel-powered generators (20% supply) to provide power to the town. Discovery Channel featured the mountain for its wind energy project. The story explained how it was a huge challenge for companies to provide power source to the remote town. It is remarkable for being the pioneering utility-scale wind energy project. Because of this, the cost of the town's electricity immensely decreased.
