ÉNERGIES RENOUVELABLES BIEN FAITES

The document outlines the 'Renewables Done Right' framework, which seeks to prevent renewable energy projects from replicating the harms of fossil fuel systems, such as land grabbing and human rights violations. It emphasizes energy sovereignty, sufficiency, and circular economies, using examples from India, Palestine, and Scotland to illustrate the need for community participation, infrastructure investment, and the avoidance of overconsumption.

• The Rewa Ultra Mega Solar project in India demonstrates the failure of large-scale projects to benefit local populations, as it cut communities off from agricultural land and failed to provide promised jobs or electricity.
• In Palestine, energy insecurity is exacerbated by military occupation and a fragmented electrical grid in the West Bank, which limits the ability to integrate renewable energy sources despite high solar potential.
• The concept of 'Energy Sobriety and Sufficiency' is illustrated by the community on the island of Eigg in Scotland, which uses a self-sufficient mini-grid and a 5kW consumption cap per household to maintain a reliable supply and minimize investment costs.
• A just transition requires circular systems for renewable energy industries to avoid the current model where raw materials are extracted from the Global South with minimal processing before export.
