Socioeconomic impact of wind energy on peripheral regions

Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, 2015, vol. 50, issue C, 982-990

Abstract: The socioeconomic benefits from the development of wind power could go beyond environmental issues or the diversification of the energy mix. There is an increasing interest in quantifying the impact on regional economies of such deployment, especially in those peripheral regions with low growth rates and traditional declined sectors. However, many studies in this field are meta-analyses or they do not take into account the different dynamics between temporal and permanent activities in the sector as well as the regional singularities.
