Abstract
Conference Title: 2014 5th International Renewable Energy Congress (IREC) Conference Start Date: 2014, March 25 Conference End Date: 2014, March 27 Conference Location: hammamet, Tunisia By adopting an abductive logic where we iteratively synthesize existing theory and field work based on the Sidi Daoud Wind Park case, and by apprehending renewable energy technology from a social perspective, a comprehensive model is proposed in terms of input, process and output hinging around the pivotal community acceptance construct which is believed to enrich our understanding of renewable energy project implementation and to account for differences in its outcome, i.e, in terms of success or failure.
