Energy Communities and Social Acceptance initiatives: A comparative perspective between Indigenous Territories in Colombia and Local Communities in EU
Seminar
Seminar Overview
The first part of the seminar will focus on three case studies from La Guajira, Colombia (EPM, AES Colombia, ENEL), addressing the Colombian government’s introduction of energy communities. The companies will present the background of this initiative and their involvement in its implementation. Additionally, they will outline their strategies for gaining social acceptance of wind energy projects in Indigenous territories.
The second part of the seminar will shift to Europe, presenting concrete examples and lessons learned from energy communities and the social acceptance tools and mechanisms developed in Europe.
The objective of the seminar is to provide a comparative perspective on how energy communities and social acceptance strategies are implemented in different contexts.
