Renewable energy sources in isolated rural communities: a methodology of social intervention.

Abstract

This research aims to socialize a methodology of social intervention in rural communities isolated from the Cuban national electricity system, for the implementation of technological solutions that use available renewable energy sources. The methodology conceives the intervention as a management tool to mediate and promote the participation of the different actors and the social appropriation of the technologies, based on equity and community selfdevelopment. The theoretical, legal foundations, requirements and principles that sustain it are also explained, detailing the instrumental components that allow its application, from four stages of development, its objectives, methods, and procedures.
