Noelia Romero Castro, Vanessa Miramontes Viña, Ángeles López Cabarcos · 2022 · Sustainability

Summary. Community renewable energy projects in rural areas depend on entrepreneurship and renewable energy technology adoption.

The study maps causal relationships between these factors to guide policymakers in designing strategies that strengthen rural renewable energy initiatives.
