This document describes a methodology developed in a university thesis to identify suitable areas for renewable energy plants within a municipality in Italy. The methodology analyzes energy consumption and landscape characteristics to assess areas' propensity for different types of renewable energy. It then evaluates each area's energy capability using SWOT analysis. The goal is to provide tools for policymakers to incorporate energy planning while avoiding underestimating an area's renewable energy potential and using energy sources to support ecological restoration. The methodology was developed and tested on the municipality of San Miniato but could be repeated elsewhere subject to data availability.
