The ‘Social Gap’ in Wind Farm Siting Decisions: Explanations and Policy Responses (2005, background): “Community-owned wind farms are widely advocated because of the success of the Danish model (Toke & Elliott, 2000; Toke, 2002; CPRE, 2003).”
Good Neighbours, Public Relations and Bribes: The Politics and Perceptions of Community Benefit Provision in Renewable Energy Development in the UK (2010, background): “…of public opposition to wind power in particular, developers and policy-makers in the UK have looked to the relatively successful roll-out of wind power in other European countries (CSE, 2005; Gipe, 2006; Loring, 2007; Toke, 1999, 2002; Toke et al., 2008) in order to try to emulate their success.”
Historical institutionalism and the politics of sustainable energy transitions: A research agenda (2017, background): “Other comparative studies of renewables development also use arguments based on positive and negative feedback effects, albeit more implicitly (Toke 2002, Lauber 2012, Laird and Stefes 2009, Szarka 2007, Michalena and Hills 2013).”
Wind Power in Europe: A Simultaneous Innovation–Diffusion Model (2007, background): “For the latter, see Toke (2002) who compares the impact of ownership on wind power diffusion in Denmark and the UK.”
Reconsidering public attitudes and public acceptance of renewable energy technologies: a critical review (2007, background): “It has been argued that the key to gaining local community support is to use compensation of a financial or other form to redress imbalances in the distribution of costs and benefits (Dorshimer, 1996; Toke, 2002).”
Acceptance, acceptability and environmental justice: the role of community benefits in wind energy development (2011, background): “It is not just the economic benefits to affected communities that made the difference, but the fact that farmers and local cooperatives could control the terms on which wind farm development took place (see Toke 2002).”

Understanding 'local' opposition to wind development in the UK: How big is a backyard? (2010, background): “…and contribute to planning discussions, tend to exert more of an influence on planning decisions resulting in reduced chances of success (see also Toke, 2002); (2) the qualified support explanation, which suggests that whilst people might support wind power in principle, they often have…”
The Politics of Landscape Value: A Case Study of Wind Farm Conflict in Rural Catalonia (2009, unknown): “As evidenced by the success of the Danish model, community ownership of wind farms that implies a financial stake and voice in planning, development, and management of facilities reduces opposition (Toke, 2002).”
