Renewables, energy saving and welfare in Italian fragile rural areas

Giorgio Osti · 2016 · SOCIOLOGIA E POLITICHE SOCIALI

Summary. This study examines whether renewable energy development and energy-saving initiatives improve welfare in Italian rural areas. The research focuses on four rural regions with major energy infrastructure, analyzing how new jobs, royalties, and social cohesion from renewable energy projects affect communities facing population aging, poverty, and reduced social services. The findings combine institutional and network analysis to understand how energy transitions can address rural welfare challenges.
