KAZIMIERSKI, Martín. Distributed energy as a post-fossil model in Argentina. Econ. soc. territ [online]. 2020, vol.20, n.63, pp.397-428.  Epub Oct 21, 2020. ISSN 2448-6183.  https://doi.org/10.22136/est20201562.

In Argentina, the installation of large solar and wind farms has increased the participation of renewable energy in the matrix, contributing to the goals of national diversification and dephosilization, although without altering the dominant structures of the traditional system. This work argues that it is possible to think about these energies’ penetration as triggers of new public-citizen experiences, based on local management. From the analysis of three key actors: public companies, cooperatives and citizens; this paper explores the potential of distributed generation to drive a true energy transition, towards a more decentralized, deconcentrated and democratic model.

Keywords : energy transition; renewable energy; distributed generation.
