Sustainable development is intertwined with renewable energy sources and in this sense, the transition to them is the only way to preserve the environment and sustainability. In this context, the purpose of this thesis is to highlight the importance of renewable energy sources in the modern energy mix and at the same time, to search, through primary research with the help of a questionnaire, the causes and importance of the transition to the RES regime, from people living in communities that rely on electricity generation. In addition, local communities seem to be linking the RES transition to public perceptions of both employment opportunities and carbon dioxide emission reduction issues. However, the NIMBY phenomenon is recognized in the research findings, as half of the sample is not willing to bear any size of transition costs, although the vast majority of the sample recognizes exactly this need to switch to RES. Finally, the research emphasizes the importance of financial costs, as the most important obstacle to the transition to RES.
