This Project addresses a total number of 11 case studies which will incorporate renewable energy plants representing different generation systems (wind power, solar power and hydro power) to analyse the associated physical processes and business models and, on the other hand, it will also incorporate Energy Consumer Cooperatives in pursuit of scaling up the associated social innovation phenomenon to these business models as the representatives of the new social responsibility and governance policies. Thus, the analysis of such these cases will be held using the following methodological tools:

• Bibliographical and Documentary information analysis.
• Fieldwork.
• Lab work.
• Surveys and in-depth interviews.
• Business model based on the design and elaboration of qualitative surveys to the actors involved in the case studies.
• Social Innovation: Development of interviews, workshops and discussion groups with wide participation and implication of local population.
• Learning Activities.
• Joint assessment and consideration
