The energy transition is driving a profound structural, cross-sectoral, and multidimensional transformation that will significantly shape Basque society over the coming decades, affecting both its economic and institutional organisation. Within the framework of the Basque Economic Agreement (Concierto Económico), this transition will have direct implications for public finances, making fiscal policy a key instrument for balancing financial sustainability, employment, competitiveness, and social welfare.

This project aims to systematically collect and analyse the perceptions, needs, risks, and opportunities identified by different stakeholders regarding the fiscal implications of the energy transition in the Basque Autonomous Community. To achieve this, the project adopts a participatory approach involving public administrations, businesses, social organisations, and civic platforms.

The work is organised into four phases: stakeholder identification, data collection through interviews and questionnaires, integrated data analysis, and dissemination of results. A distinctive feature of the project is the combination of quantitative models with qualitative insights, creating a feedback process that enhances the accuracy and practical relevance of the analysis.

The project has a strong applied orientation, supporting evidence-based public policy design and strengthened through institutional collaboration.
