Abstract
This work contributes to improving the relevant information for the local participatory process, in a context of just energy transition. A proposal has been prepared for an objective estimate of the initial impact and the minimum socioeconomic compensation for the closure of a conventional coal-fired thermal power plant in the affected local entity. This has allowed (1) specifying and contextualizing the effects into which the initial impact of the closure can be divided, with the inclusion of the circular effect; (2) obtaining an indicator of the minimum compensation that would need to be set to neutralize this impact; and (3) establishing recommendations and conclusions based on the evidence obtained.
Highlights
Compensation for the Closure of a Energy transition processes are often unique, slow and generally driven by a combination of factors, not always predictable and manageable in the short term, which end up revealing common effects on and challenges for concerned territories [1]
Transition processes are complex, as nonspecialized actors suffer from a situation similar to that posed by the “veil of ignorance”, due to lack of access to costly and relevant information
Our work aims to contribute to this objective of full information with a proposal for an objective estimate of the initial impact of the closure of the largest conventional coal-fired thermal power plant in Spain on the economy and employment of the municipality in which
Summary
Compensation for the Closure of a Energy transition processes are often unique, slow and generally driven by a combination of factors, not always predictable and manageable in the short term, which end up revealing common effects on and challenges for concerned territories [1]. This makes it useful to consider them in their historical contexts in order to draw transferable lessons to study how they might develop in the future [2,3,4]. They later must have the possibility to influence and decide how and when measures are to be taken
