Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation / Future planning of renewable energy sources | | Portuguese term or phrase: de uso corte | I'm not familiar with "corte" used as an adjective. I thought it might have been a slip-up for "curto". Your help is most appreciated.
No âmbito dos PCES, as comunidades sob orientação dos técnicos das direcções provinciais, irão inventariar as suas necessidades e potenciais energéticos, actuais e futuros, tomando em consideração os seguintes elementos:
• Caracterização da população e tendências de crescimento demográfico;
• Caracterização de empreendimentos públicos, comerciais, agrícolas e industriais, do ponto de vista de necessidades energéticas actuais e futuras;
• Identificação e caracterização das fontes energéticas locais, **de uso corte** ou potenciais para futuros desenvolvimentos; |
