Understanding community benefit payments from renewable energy development (2017, background): “…criticised the use of simple cost and benefit balances in the context of wider, more complicated issues such as those nuanced aspects of symbolism and place attachment, which can be constructed through equally complex matters like historical relations or rural idyllicism (Cowell et al., 2011).”
Energy justice at the end of the wire: Enacting community energy and equity in Wales (2017, positive): “Distributive justice has long been considered an aspect of energy infrastructure siting, prompting discussions around the provision of benefits to communities as a tool for managing siting conflicts (Cowell et al, 2011).”
Spatial justice and the land politics of renewables: Dispossessing vulnerable communities through solar energy mega-projects (2016, positive): “Literature on wind farm implementation in the global North (Cowell et al., 2011; Walker et al., 2010) and the emerging literature on solar energy implementation in India (anonymised for review) supports this narrative by arguing that the lack of trust can make even ‘environmentally good’ renewable e”
