Impacts Generated by a Large-Scale Solar Photovoltaic Power Plant Can Lead to Conflicts between Sustainable Development Goals: A Review of Key Lessons Learned in Madagascar

Abstract: In a context of energy transition towards renewable energies, this case study situated in Madagascar allows us to verify the extent to which an on-grid photovoltaic solar power plant represents a vector for sustainable development. The article proposes a model for assessing sustainability from a qualitative multi-criteria perspective. This analysis fits into the theoretical question of the science of sustainability by challenging the theory of endogenous development. The innovation of this research is based on… Show more

“…Non-conventional electricity generation technologies like utility scale PV and wind turbines (WE) are considered not only worldwide [53], but also in African countries like Madagascar [56] and Nigeria [57] as the most economically affordable technologies for electricity generation (Figure 6). Its low LCOE (ECO2) as well as its investment (ECO1) and O&M (ECO3) costs are factors that promote the constant increase of its presence worldwide [58] as power sources, having also the advantage of reduced impacts to human health (ECO5).…”

“…Most of the articles in the literature present in the most well-known and reliable bibliometric databases connect the concept of the energy transition to specific cases. Often, the energy transition is linked to the concept of landscape transformation, land consumption, the use of renewable energy sources, and what benefits they bring but also what conflicts they have with the Sustainable Development Goals [22][23][24][25][26]. Papers have also been written about specific methods that can be used to examine the energy transition, such as system dynamics [27].…”
