Paisagem, tecnologia e desenvolvimento local: a central solar da Amareleja

No estudo dos impactos locais das energias renováveis tem sido dada pouca atenção a tecnologias com menor peso no sistema energético. Este trabalho procura colmatar esta lacuna, através de um estudo de caso sobre a central fotovoltaica da Amareleja, assente em entrevistas com stakeholders e residentes e análise de documentação. A central tem a particularidade de ser parte de uma iniciativa municipal de desenvol...
