20-06-2022 - 09:56
This public hearing focused on how renewable sources of energy are growing in proportion in the current electricity generation mix. Nevertheless, this necessary development, essential to decarbonize the electricity sector, must be respectful of the environmental and social considerations to achieve public acceptance and avoid rejection that is noticed in many territories and can put the energy transition at risk.
