Posters
Come meet the poster presenters to ask them questions and discuss their work
We would like to invite you to come and see the posters at our upcoming conference. The posters will showcase a diverse range of research topics, and will give delegates an opportunity to engage with the authors and learn more about their work. Whether you are a seasoned researcher or simply curious about the latest developments in your field, we believe that the posters will offer something of interest to everyone. So please join us at the conference and take advantage of this opportunity to learn and engage with your peers in industry and the academic community.
On 9 April at 17:15, we’ll also hold the main poster session and distinguish the 7 best posters of this year’s edition with our traditional Poster Awards Ceremony. Join us at the poster area to cheer and meet the laureates, and enjoy some drinks with all poster presenters!
We look forward to seeing you there!
PO061: Wind power deployment and community benefits in our "backyards" - the role of perceptions and expectations - empirical analysis and case studies
Andrea Pittaluga, Senior Sustainability Advisor, Statkraft
Abstract
Community benefits from wind power developments are meant to play a key role in achieving the social license to build and operate wind farms. Community benefit sharing mechanisms in renewable energy projects can be shaped by different factors. Our investigation provides an overview of how the public preferences for the most common community benefit sharing mechanism can be shaped by public perceptions and expectations through an empirical investigation in selected countries in Europe. Our investigation complements an empirical multi-country analysis with specific cases of benefit sharing mechanisms in onshore wind projects. The empirical analysis is based on an opinion survey containing more than 8 000 interviews from four European countries undertaken in July 2024. First, the paper shows how public preferences for different benefit sharing mechanism vary across different levels of social acceptance and according to public perceptions on climate change in the selected countries. Second, the empirical investigation is complemented with short case studies illustrating how key industry actors promote different community benefit schemes to accommodate community perceptions and expectations. The results of this investigation allow us to better understand the role of public perceptions and expectations when shaping community benefits schemes aiming to promote the social license to deploy renewable energy projects.
