Track 4: Coal

61 Finally, regarding Energy, this resource was redefined as an enabler of well-being and not just as a commodity. Social acceptance of new solar projects was linked to obtaining tangible benefits, such as fair tariffs adjusted to socioeconomic reality and the implementation of energy community models where the population actively participates in system operation. Module 3: Territorial Planning The incidence on territorial planning was carried out through the structuring of the JSET Chapter of the La Loma Development Strategic Plan 2024-2056 (ICSI, 2024), a dynamic management instrument co-constructed with the Local Development Promoter (PDL32). This plan operationalizes the Just Socioeconomic Energy Transition (JSET) through a portfolio of 21 investment projects, structured in five strategic lines: energy, economy, education, governance, and sustainability; designed to manage the territory's transformation. In the Energy line, the plan addresses access barriers through the technical design of "fair tariffs" adjusted to the socioeconomic reality of the users, aiming to reduce energy poverty. Furthermore, it prioritizes the planning and execution of Energy Communities, linking photovoltaic infrastructure with certified training programs. These programs focus on women and youth for installation and maintenance tasks, establishing a business model where the system's operation generates qualified local employment. Regarding the Economy line, initiatives focused on the agro-industrialization of local products were prioritized to create value chains that replace thermal coal rents. Strategies include strengthening crops such as watermelon (patilla) and corn, adding value through processing (e.g., production of jams and derivatives). Additionally, the plan includes the reactivation of the traditional livestock fair and the promotion of sustainable tourism, connecting the agricultural vocation with new market opportunities. In the Education and Governance lines, the plan integrates projects to align the training offer with the productive vocation of the land and strengthen social control. The Local JSET Observatory was constituted as a permanent system for monitoring impact indicators, designed to ensure transparency in the execution of transition resources. Finally, in the Environmental Sustainability line, protocols for the management of technological waste were incorporated, specifically anticipating the handling of batteries and solar components to avoid future environmental liabilities derived from technological substitution. DISCUSSION he discussion of the results obtained through the implementation of the Observatories of Territorial Transformations (OTT) model allows interpreting the complexity of landing national energy transition policy in local contexts of high extractive dependence.
