Photovoltaics in agriculture: A case study on decision making of farmers (2013, background): “(Malhotra, 2006), and establishing a community energy project involves many complexities (Walker, 2008), the success of the machinery ring initiative makes it a case well worthy of study.”
Energy justice at the end of the wire: Enacting community energy and equity in Wales (2017, unknown): “A further well-rehearsed debate in this regard relates to the conflict between communities of interest and communities of place (Walker, 2008), which was evidenced in this study through the widespread reliance of projects on share offers to raise development capital.”
"Let's do it ourselves" : individual motivations for investing in renewables at community level (2015, background): “Secondly, it is a general belief that community-based projects can obtain permissions and local acceptance – which can be very important in case of the NIMBY phenomenon – easier than others [11].”
Taking stock of the local impacts of community owned renewable energy: A review and research agenda (2018, background): “Despite this interest, research to date has tended to focus primarily on the factors influencing the uptake and successful implementation of project s, rather than their outcomes [5,10-15].”
Trust, awareness, and independence: Insights from a socio-psychological factor analysis of citizen knowledge and participation in community energy systems (2018, background): “Although there are many benefits associated with citizens engagement in CESs, they also have several barriers and challenges [11,19,36,37].”
Local acceptance of renewable energy - A case study from southeast Germany (2011, background): “There are development trusts and cooperatives as well as cases in which shares are owned by a local community organization like a community charity (Walker, 2008).”
Political power and renewable energy futures: A critical review (2017, background): “Decentralized authority means greater self-reliance, local approval and planning, as well as greater local accountability and responsibility for social and environmental impacts of electricity use [11,24,104,105].”
Promoting Community Renewable Energy in a Corporate Energy World (2015, background): “Renewable energy proposals in rural locations in the UK are always at risk of opposition due to their impacts, whether community projects or not, and the distribution of benefits from ‘community renewables’ can itself be a point of contention (Walker 2008).”
Renewable Energy Technology and Path Creation: A Multi-scalar Approach to Energy Transition in the UK (2012, background): “…to recognize the interdependence between the evolution of the technological, economic, environmental, social and political subsystems with strong recent emphasis on actor-network and discourse analysis of existing policies (Shove & Walker, 2007; Walker, 2008; Walker & Devine-Wright, 2008).”
Analyzing the determinants of the size of investments by community renewable energy members: Findings and policy implications from Flanders (2019, background): “Bibliographies of identified relevant studies, e.g. Walker (2008), Walker et al. (2010) or Huybrechts and Mertens (2014), were examined to identify further relevant literature.”
