- Abstract
This article addresses a dialogue process regarding the implementation of an energy policy based on the development of wind power in Uruguay. This policy is the major component of a national strategy of diversification of the energy matrix based on renewable sources initiated by the Uruguayan government in 2005. We focus on the development of a cognitive niche regarding wind energy emphasizing a virtuous articulation between academia and government. Results are presented as a narrative of the development of wind energy engaging with the literature on technological transitions and innovation systems. The transition resembles a transformation path in three phases during which relationships among different communities evolved. The analysis addresses the importance of learning spaces on energy-related topics and the leading role of the State in the transformation.
