To set aside public land for local-scale public/private energy plants

It is necessary to build public/private energy facilities always with the twofold aim of working towards the goal of producing zero-mile energy while at the same time enhancing the wellbeing of society. Along these lines, the municipalities will need to change the uses of the communal land earmarked by assigning space to set up energy infrastructure. However, the scheme is not about assigning public land to contribute to the private profits of companies; rather, the aim is to apply public/private cooperation mechanisms whereby the profits revert back to the community at large. By pursuing a specific approach involving the type of collaborative governance applied in certain industrial estates, settlements, small towns or specific neighbourhoods, it will be necessary to set up consortiums for the operation of facilities in order to effectively generate these local renewable energies.
