Initial Impact and Socioeconomic Compensation for the Closure of a Coal-Fired Power Plant in a Local Entity. Sustainability, 13, (13). https://doi.org/10.3390/su131373912071-1050http://hdl.handle.net/2183/28253[Abstract] This work contributes to improving the relevant information for the local participatory process, in a context of just energy transition. A proposal has been prepared for an objective estimate of the initial impact and the minimum socioeconomic compensation for the closure of a conventional coal-fired thermal power plant in the affected local entity. This has allowed (1) specifying and contextualizing the effects into which the initial impact of the closure can be divided, with the inclusion of the circular effect; (2) obtaining an indicator of the minimum compensation that would need to be set to neutralize this impact; and (3) establishing recommendations and conclusions based on the evidence obtained.engAtribución 4.0 Internacional (CC BY 4.0)https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Coal power plant closureJust energy transitionParticipatory processInitial impactLocal compensationMultilevel informational outlookjournal articleopen access
