“…A straightforward way to test whether applying the PPFS in other languages would lead to item bias would be to collect additional data in other language contexts and test for DIF between the German and the translated versions of the PPFS. Moreover, not only the language of the PPFS may pose a problem but also the fact that the PPFS was constructed for measuring PPF in the context of German grid expansion, where the planning and approval procedure is highly formalized and where there is a high degree of informally organized protest, for example, in the form of local citizens' initiatives (Kopp, 2017). Although the wording of the PPFS items was fairly general, we cannot exclude the possibility that the scale might provide less reliable results in other countries with different planning and decision-making procedures, which is why the performance of the PPFS in Germany should be compared with its performance in countries with different types of planning and approval procedure.…”

Purpose Governments and energy operators are often confronted with opposition to the construction of new high-voltage transmission lines. Besides other factors, a potential determinant of public opposition and acceptance that has gained increasing attention is the fairness of the planning and approval procedure as perceived by the citizens. The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a scale for measuring perceived procedural fairness (PPF). Design/methodology/approach The authors developed the ten-item “perceived procedural fairness scale (PPFS)” and assessed its quality by means of item response theory. By using a Rasch rating scale model, the authors tested whether the instrument met the requirements of this kind of measurement model. For conducting their research, the authors used data from two telephone surveys in Germany that were collected in areas that are affected by grid expansion. Findings The findings suggest that the scale can be considered a reliable and internal valid instrument for measuring citizens’ PPF. Originality/value At the moment, there is no psychometrically rigorously evaluated scale available for measuring PPF in the context of power grid expansion. Therefore, the study contributes to filling this gap and provides a valuable tool for researchers and practitioners concerned with further investigating citizens’ PPF and its relationships with other relevant constructs in the field.

“…Concerning the former, the distribution of power in terms of citizen participation is relevant. Citizen associations do not possess any legal rights that they can refer to throughout the governance process (Kopp, ). Only citizens who are directly concerned or formal associations that are formally recognized such as nature conservation organizations are allowed to enforce their rights by law (Marg, ).…”

The German Energy Transition is one of the most important and largest infrastructure projects and one of the most significant challenges to German policy‐making. Empirical studies provide evidence for the notion that participation in the decision making process shapes local acceptance of renewable energy technology expansion. In the context of the German Energy Transition, the emphasis on participation in decision making processes seems to involve a paradox. Many different participatory measures have been implemented but many renewable energy projects do not reach a decent level of acceptability. In utilizing the concept of throughput legitimacy, we show that a major threat to legitimacy lies in the incoherent way conventional and unconventional forms of citizen participation are implemented at different scales. According to our analysis, the main challenges are to enable multi‐level participation and to transfer deliberative outcome to the representative system. In referring to innovative democratic procedures in Brazil, we present characteristics and features of participatory measures that may solve these challenges.
