While current environmental problems are taken place worldwide, their impacts are seen in different regions, populations and economies. For this reason, all measures and plans to mitigate those problems should originate from local initiatives to respond to specific needs of social agents, making use of available resources and capacities in each territory. Facing all these current environmental problems bring about changes in production and consumption systems which involve more efficient and sustainable use of resources, changing the energy pattern with its key role due to the impact in the use of non-renewable energies. To solve all these problems, an entrepreneurial and innovative capacity is needed to adopt new production methods, supplies and products, as well as new ways to do things. As renewable energies play an important role as a new alternative to face the depletion of non- renewable energies and as a way to reduce the external negative factors associated with energy consumption. Then, this paper aims at showing a theoretical revision describing the relevance of entrepreneurship in the development and strengthening of endogenic capacities to take advantage of local renewable sources of energy.

Palabras clave : Endogenic capacities; Endogenic and local development; Green; Entrepreneurship; Renewable and non-renewable energies.
