Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2015, vol. 45, issue C, 278-289

Abstract: The socio-technical adequacy processes of technologies, in general, and particularly, renewable energy, require paradigm changes in the way of thinking and acting in the territory. These processes are key, on post, to achieve greater equality, democratic management, quality of life and environmental sustainability, particularly in the rural areas of Northwest Argentina. The article is based on the premise that these changes are socially constructed.
