Involving local stakeholders is crucial in both the development and decommissioning of wind farms, though the focus shifts. Development involves addressing environmental and visual concerns, and economic benefits like job creation. Decommissioning focuses on dismantling impacts, site restoration, and future land use, emphasizing transparency and minimizing disruptions. While development engagement has advanced, experience with decommissioning is limited. This accelerator session will focus on fostering community involvement during decommissioning, an area with less established practices.
