缺乏学术研究来了解社区可再生发展的文化价值、驱动因素和成果。本文有助于解决这一差距，通过比较四个社区可再生能源项目设置在苏格兰盖尔语讲苏格兰和威尔士讲威尔士。文化价值观不仅推动了这些社区能源项目的发展，而且通过定性访谈收集的证据表明，这些社区旨在为各自地区的长期文化可持续性做出贡献。本研究论文的重点是如何在苏格兰和威尔士的社区风能项目对文化属性的保留，特别是语言的保留和振兴作出了贡献。它还有助于更深入地了解历史上土著社区转向可再生能源部门（并发展自己的地方项目）的文化原因，以此通过经济发展帮助实现文化可持续性。
There is a shortage of scholarly research into understanding the cultural values, drivers and outcomes of community renewable developments. This paper contributes towards addressing this gap, by comparing four community renewable projects set in Scottish Gaelic speaking Scotland and in Welsh speaking Wales. Not only do cultural values drive the developments of these community energy projects, but evidence gathered here through qualitative interviews show that these communities aim to contribute towards the long term cultural sustainability of their respective areas. This research paper focuses on how community wind energy projects in Scotland and Wales have contributed towards the retention of cultural attributes, particularly language retention and revitalisation. It also contributes to a deeper understanding of the cultural reasons why historically indigenous communities are turning towards the renewable energy sector (and developing their own local projects) as a way to help achieve cultural sustainability through economic development.
