The challenges of energy knowledge management in the municipalities of Cuba
Main Article Content
Abstract
In order to tackle the energy problem in the development of the Cuban municipalities, Redenerg (National Network for Energy Knowledge Management) developed a knowledge management tool known as NOME (municipal energy nodes) that allows the intellectual capital in energy matters within the municipality to be organized, in order to support municipal governments in the management of energy problems linked to local municipal development. The experience of setting up NOME in four municipalities in the country’s central region (Jatibonico, Placetas, Fomento and Aguada de Pasajeros) led to the identification of the problems that hinder local energy management from the point of view of knowledge management. The paper presents the problems identified in the municipalities, the work strategy designed to tackle those problems, the results achieved and the prospects in the area of generalization.
