Energy communities are a great example of how people can harness renewable energy while creating a sustainable and thriving community. When a wind turbine is placed in a community, local people can benefit from the clean energy it produces while reaping the other benefits the turbine offers, whether it’s building community or generating new income. 

Building an energy community and placing wind turbines in communities is a complex participatory process that requires collaboration between local government, residents and energy professionals.

This participatory process consists of 

• educating the public on the topic of wind energy and energy communities so that they have a good understanding of the potential benefits and risks,
• mapping the needs of local residents that will allow for the design of a specific solution that works for all stakeholders,
• discussing and negotiating to finding compromises and solutions acceptable to all,
• deciding where and under what conditions the wind turbines will be located. 

Our participatory planning experts can translate this challenging process and topic into a sequence of understandable activities with concrete outcomes.

We will guide you through the entire process, from set-up to implementation and evaluation.
