As we transition to a renewables-based energy system, opposition has become a bottleneck towards building the needed infrastructure for the future. Therefore, ensuring support for energy infrastructures is key during this process. But, how do we better involve the public in your energy infrastructure project and ensure a fair process?
With this problem in mind, RGI and IEECP researched how public engagement can leverage different voices during the development of energy infrastructure in a fair way. As a result, a guideline for developers, policymakers and civil society was created to support decisions within the context of grid, wind and solar energy infrastructure build-up.
