Local Governments Supporting Local Energy Initiatives: Lessons from the Best Practices of Saerbeck (Germany) and Lochem (The Netherlands) (2015, background): “Another element to take into consideration is the trust citizens may have in the ways LEIs operate and manage things, which is an essential precondition for the development of LEIs [11,48,53,57,62–69].”
A Turbine is not only a Turbine: The Role of Social Context and Fairness Characteristics for the Local Acceptance of Wind Power (2017, background): “…these factors on local acceptance of turbines in peoples’ vicinities combine qualitative interviews with standardized questionnaires comprising attitudinal items (e.g., Zoellner et al. 2008) or use only standardized questionnaires comprising sets of attitudinal items (e.g., Musall and Kuik 2011).”
Understanding community benefit payments from renewable energy development (2017, background): “Community ownership, or at least co-ownership, of infrastructure has been shown to improve acceptance of renewable developments in numerous countries, including Scotland (Warren and McFadyen, 2010) and Germany (Musall and Kuik, 2011).”
Analyzing the determinants of the size of investments by community renewable energy members: Findings and policy implications from Flanders (2019, background): “In addition to contributing to close investment gaps, some evidence indicates that community ownership may improve local acceptance of RE projects (Bauwens and DevineWright, 2018; Warren and McFadyen, 2010; Musall and Kuik, 2011; McLaren Loring, 2007).”
