This paper presents a theoretical review related to the contributions of technology development in the search for optimal solutions at the local level to face the renewable energies challenge. This, considering that those processes of promoting the development and implementation of new energy resources and environmental technologies in Colombia as well as in around the world, depends on the economic and political will in most cases. Also, the correct use of the available information allows the identification of potential threats and opportunities of implementing such technologies locally, as described in this paper. As part of the conclusions, the results of such processes can also be an important input for prospective, institutional and territorial planning in order to support adoption and technological adaptation processes to respond to local needs.
