Should we get all excited about allegedly saving 1000 of 100 million liters of fuel?

Antarctic Bases Allegedly Switch to Renewable Energy - Solar power is among the "top" options - Softpedia

Although the sun rarely shines on the region, in the summer it filters through the clouds, and reaches the ice, from which if reflects powerfully, filling the arrays with energy. For instance, in the British-run Rothera base, the large amount of panels, valued at around $58,000, is estimated to save the place approximately 1,000 liters of fuel per year, and produces some 15 kilowatts of electricity.

The national Antarctic research programs together use about 100 million litres of fuel per year.
