Portugal has broken the record for the most number of hours running straight on 100 percent renewable energy sources in the European Union.

The Iberian country powered its electricity for 107 hours through solar, wind and hydro energy from May 7th (6.45am) until May 11th (5.45pm). In 2015, the wind was responsible for providing 22 percent of the energy consumed in Portugal; all clean, renewable sources account for 48 percent of the nation's yearly power consumption.

Portugal, who once was the biggest CO2 emission producers in the Old Continent, is becoming one of the most sustainable energy producers, and fossil fuels will be ruled out for the next decade.
