How to optimise acceptance for new wind farms?

When: Wednesday, 22 April 2026, 16:00 - 17:00
Where: N103, N104

Session description

The expansion of wind energy is not going fast enough. Europe will fall short of its targets. Public acceptance can help speeding up this expansion. But how do we optimise it? In this panel we will discuss local initiatives that can help speed up projects by involving communities. At the end we will reward this year’s best community engagement projects.
