Abstract

In 1997 a small island community in Denmark, with only 4.300 inhabitants, chose to start working towards making the island self sufficient with renewable energy over a period of 10 years. The Samsonians are hard working and the island can now proudly call itself Denmarks Renewable Energy Island. Now, after 6 years, the project hasr eached a milestone, namely the finalisation of projecting and building 10 off shore windmills a little south of Samsø. The Samsonians have themselves invested 120 million kr. in the project, thus claiming ownership of half the mills. We think there is an important story to be told about this local ownership and entrepreneurship so characteristic to the Renewable Energy Island projects. For me, as a photographer, it has been a beautiful melange of challenge and exploration that has driven me to document this feat of strength. -- Et lille ø-samfund i Danmark, med 4.300 indbyggere, valgte i 1997 at gå i gang med at gøre øen selvforsynende med vedvarende energi over en periode på 10 år. Samsingerne er i fuld gang, og øen kan allerede med stolthed kalde sig Danmarks Vedvarende Energi Ø. I de 6 år Vedvarende Energi Ø har eksisteret, er man nu færdig med et af projektets største milepæle, nemlig realiseringen af Havvindmølleprojektet Samsø Havvind, som omhandler opstillingen af 10 off shore vindmøller lidt syd for Samsø. Samsingerne har selv investeret 120 millioner kr. i projektet og ejer således halvdelen af møllerne. Vi mener, der ligger en rigtig god historie i den lokale forankring og det engagement, der præger projekterne i VEØ. For mig, som fotograf, har det været en skøn blanding af udfordring og lyst, der har drevet mig til at skildre denne kraftpræstation.
