The concept of sustainable development is therefore designed
to correct the shortcomings of the dominant development paradigm, whose only
main criterion is economic growth. Its concern is to integrate the social and
environmental dimensions into the development process in order to mitigate the
social and ecological imbalances generated by the liberal and even socialist
economic model. For the energy sector to be truly economically important, it
must be based on its on-demand production capacity. Electricity is, therefore,
an energy source that is not storable. Supply and demand must be balanced. The
energy return time corresponds to the time necessary for the energy
reimbursement of the construction of the plant concerned. Contrary to what we
may think, this criterion has been classified as a social and non-environmental
criterion, because the use of energy resources to build the infrastructure
necessary to produce electricity is directly in competition with energy
consumption. The cost of producing renewable electricity seems like a logical
explanation. Despite the significant decline in wind and solar electricity
generation costs in recent years, hydropower remains the cheapest of renewable
electricity. Finally, we focused on the objectives and opportunities of the
Mediterranean Solar Plan, focusing on these renewable electricity development
strategies. Starting from the principle of renewable electricity production,
the following chapter will address the concept of the energy transition by
studying the principle of the green economy.
