Abstract: The transition to a future sustainable energy requires the implementation of renewable energy projects. However, to ensure their success, these initiatives must go beyond simply installing clean technologies and adopt smart practices that transcend technical challenges. This work aims to advance the conceptual framework of "smart practices" and analyses their application in renewable energy projects in the province of Jaen. Semi-structured interviews with environmental technicians from the Provincial Council of Jaen were used to identify projects aligned with the criteria proposed by Frantál et al. (2018). The research results suggest the need to consider projects beyond the technological advancement they represent and take into account the context in which an energy installation is planned, and how perception and social acceptance play a fundamental role as a guarantee of success.
